Setting up Perfmon
Perfmon should be run from a remote server so as not to interfere with VSM performance. Install
the application on the server, and then log in and launch the perfmon.msc file. Perfmon can
then be set up to run automatically. These procedures are for Windows Server 2003, but the
concepts are the same for Windows Server 2008, although the display is different.
