I'm running perfmon on several servers, and I'd like all of the output to be piped to one particular server. I'm trying to do this over DFS by modifying the Root directory arg on each of the servers and placing a DFS path like so:

Root Directory: \\PERFMON_LOG_REPOSITORY\[MY_COMP_NAME]

The trouble is that when I make the Root directory dump the logs to a file over DFS, I always get the following error upon starting up the Collector Set:

when attempting to start the data collector set the following system error occurred: access is denied
