Have you had the opportunity to do this with Windows Server 2008? I am able to accomplish similar with my own script for 2003, but i’d like to check my 2008 servers as well.

Try copying just the code again (not the line numbers) and make sure you save it using ANSI encoding when you save the file (I think nodepad is ANSI by default).

Hi Tim,
a bit of a long time ago since you made that script.
i tried running it on my desktop, but it gave me errors
(line: 21, char 1, object not a collection, code: 800A01C3, source: microsoft VBScript runtime error)

i am running an x64 bit version of windows 7.
However, i get it to run on any x86 environment.

Do you know which variable is not recognised in x64 environments? Any help is much appreciated…!!!

Regards, Michael

hi,
thank you for your script.
I’m automating the collect of perf data for servers in a domain, so this saves me a huge time.
i’ll post the result to my blog

Yes, copy it, paste it in to a text file and save it as PerfMonMon.vbs

Then, copy it to each server (do this with one server first, just to make sure you have it right). Once it’s on the server, create a new scheduled task (in Control Panel) and configure it to run ever 5 minutes (even if no users are logged on) and run the script (PerfMonMon.vbs).

also, make sure to edit the line above where it says strExchangeServer = “yourmailgateway” if you want it to email you
