What permissions are required to allow attaching a remote performance monitor?
10,218
If the server has the Windows firewall up, then ensure an exception for the Performance Logs and Alerts is enabled.
Your user needs to belong to the Performance Log Users, Performance Monitor Users group and the Event Log Readers group on the server (or domain).
Ensure the Remote Registry service is running on the server.
I think that'll do it.

I am attempting to monitor a few metrics on a domain database server (Win 2008 R2) but receiving unable to connect message when attempting to connect with the built-in Performance Monitor (Windows 7 Enterprise).
What permissions are required to allow this? Would prefer not to grant log on locally or any type of interactive permissions.
