How to connect Perfmon to remote server ?

Hi ,

I need to connect perfmon to a remote SQL server 2000 to monitor its cpu counters. However when I start Perfmon on my PC it shows counters only on my local PC. When I try to connect to remote server by right-mouse clicking on grey area, clicking Add Counters, and typing in Server name in the drop-down box, I receive a message "Unable to connect to machine".

Am I doing something wrong ? What is proper way to connect ? What I also suspect is that I am probably lacking sa privileges. Are they nessessary to connect Perfmon, and how to check it ?

If I will get an RDC (remote desktop connection) from SysAdmin, would running Perfmon through this connection be more efficient ?

Thanks.

Are you adding \\ in front of the servername (eg. \\myServer01)?
