Browse All TopicsI have a 3-Tier secured network with a management layer used to support the servers. I want to be able to utilize performance monitor to monitor some of the servers. All access from the management layer is tightened so only those ports required are opened. What port does performance monitor used to connect to another system? When I try to connect I get "Unable to connect to machine" error.
