SYMPTOMS
In Chapter 10 of the Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Resource Kit, on page 296, in the "Starting and Setting up Performance Monitor" section, it states:

You can also specify a computer name in addition to, or instead of, a

settings file. For example:

C:\> perfmon \\paris1

-Or-

C:\> perfmon settings.pmw \\issaquah

The above syntax is incorrect.



CAUSE
To specify a computer name from a command line, a -c switch must precede the \\. Furthermore, the -c switch negates the other command option that specifies a settings file. Therefore, you cannot specify both a computer name and a settings file.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Resource Kit.

Additional query words: perfmon workspace chart log report alert view
