PerfMon

PerfMon allows you to open a Performance console configured with settings files from Windows NT 4.0 version of Performance Monitor.

perfmon.exe [file_name] [/HTMLFILE:converted_file settings_file]

Parameters

•  .exe

Specifies the name of the file extension.

•  file_name

Specifies the name of the settings file.

•  /HTMLFILE:converted_file settings_file

Specifies the name of the converted files, and the name of the original Windows NT 4.0 settings file.

This procedure works for the following types of Windows NT 4.0 version of Performance Monitor settings files: chart (.pmc), report (.pmr), alert (.pma), and log (.pml). To display the Windows NT 4.0 settings file in System Monitor, the system temporarily converts the file for use with Windows XP System Monitor, then discards the converted version after the console starts.

If you want to save the settings file for permanent use with System Monitor, type:

Perfmon [file_name] [/HTMLFILE:converted_file settings_file]

Where /HTMLFILE:converted_file is the name given to the converted file and settings_file is the name of the original Windows NT 4.0 settings file.
