Connecting remotely to Vista machines using Performance Monitor

[Anonymous user]

In the existing Performance monitoring documentation in the ClearSCADA online help, the example configuration says the following:

On each of the client (target) machines on which statistics are to be monitored, the security properties are configured to give the Domain account user 'Admin' rights.



On Windows Vista, this is not sufficient to allow servers to remotely monitor the vista machines. To make this possible, you should do the following:

• Run the remote registry service (set this to Automatic startup as perf mon connections won't be accepted if it is not running).

• Add the domain user to the "Performance Monitor Users" group instead of the "Administrators" group. The Admin group would still work, however you don't need to give them full system access, so why would you?

Once these two things are setup on the target Vista machine, monitoring of that computer should work exactly the same as other operating systems.
