You need to run the Performance Monitor service under a domain account that has privileges to the system you want to monitor. You cannot use NT AUTHORITYNetworkService.
To start the Performance Logs and Alerts service under a different account:
- Right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.
- Open Services and Applications.
- Click Services.
- Right-click Performance Logs and Alerts, then click Properties.
- Click the Log On tab, and then click This account.
- Type a user account, and then type a password with sufficient credentials to gain access to the remote computer.
