Cannot View Performance Counters
Symptom: I cannot find an Administrative Tools menu or the Performance window, or when I try to open the Performance window, I receive an error.
Possible Causes:
The user account you are using is not a member of the Administrators group on the local computer. Log on to the computer by using an account that has administrative permissions, or use the RunAs command-line tool to run performance counters with the appropriate permissions. For more information, see the "RunAs" topic (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=60977) and How to: View Team Foundation Server Performance Counters.
Symptom: I cannot find the appropriate performance counters in the Performance window.
Possible Causes:
- You are not logged on to the Team Foundation application-tier server or the Team Foundation data-tier server. You must be logged on to the appropriate server in order to view the performance counters for that server. For more information, see How to: View Team Foundation Server Performance Counters.
