Windows 2000 Perfmon

Can Windows 2000 Perfmon monitoring Windows 2003 Servers?

Are the csv logs in the same format?

AFAIK if you can select the Win2k3 host when setting up the performance log in Win2k, you can remotely monitor any of the available counters. CSV is just that, a comma separated value.

The technique I use is to run perfmon on each Windows box and output a CSV file to a location on my web server where the data is consolidated and fed to MRTG for graphing. It is then put into a web page for viewing from any location.

Here (http://www.kitzy.com/mrtg/) is an output sample from one of my boxes.

MRTG download link. (oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/)

whenever my windows 2003 server restarts my SQL Server doesnt start automatically whereas I have already checked the box for "Automatically Run on OS Start".

But still the sql server agent is not running automatically.

What is the setting on the SERVICE? Is it set to AUTOMATIC and is it starting?

I have checked the service of SQLSERVERAGENT, which is set to Automatic but it doesn't start when OS Starts.

When you attempt to start it manually, does it successfully?

If not, look in the Event Viewer for errors
