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 \\<computer name>. 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.
