logman.exe for Win2k?

[Tara]

There is a performance monitor tool called logman.exe that
is available with WinXP. It allows you to start and stop
a Performance Monitor counter log from the command line:

logman start CounterLog1

Does such a tool exist for Win2k? I have looked in the
resource kit and can't find one.

The Counter Logs in System Monitor allow you to specify a
schedule for when the log should start and stop. But you
can't specify a recurring schedule like you can with the
Windows scheduler. I would like to schedule a counter log
to occur weekly. Right now, we are having to go into the
counter log each week and adjust the schedule. I would
like to take the manual step out of this so that it can be
completely automated.

Does anyone know of a tool that can do what I have
described?

Thanks in advance,
Tara

I may have just the thing. I have written a utility called CounterLogMan
that works on Windows 2000, XP or 2003. The utility creates a counter log
session on a specified machine (or list of machines using accompanying
vbscript) from an XML file that defines the settings for the Counter Log and
the counters you'd like to define. It has some pre-requisites, eg MS .Net
1.1 Runtime, but it's fairly versatile.

To achieve what you are trying to do, you may need to schedule CounterLogMan
using the Windows Schedule after making appropriate changes to command-line
or xml file???

I hope this helps.
