In order for members of the Performance Log Users group to initiate data logging or modify Data Collector Sets, the group must first be assigned the Log on as a batch job user right. To assign this user right, use the Local Security Policy snap-in in Microsoft Management Console.
Membership in the local Administrators group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure.
