PSSDiag Utility Questions

Would anyone can told me following about PSSDiag ?

1. The Performance Monitor output is default set to output as .BLG file, would it be other format like CSV or TXT ?

2. For SQL Trace log gathering location, even those we set to drive other than C:\ , it still need some spaces for temporary storage in C:\ under setting of TEMP and TMP path, so is PSSDIAG still need temporary spaces in dirve C:\

3. Does this utility also support monitor on SQL 2005 server ? Pls

Many Thanks First.

1. You cannot change the default output for PERFMON.

2. Yes it access the TEMP directory to perform few computations.

System Requirements

how about if my server cannot install MSXML 4.0 SP2 ? Can I use alternative method that use ini instead of xml configuration file ?

Also, can I find some example of the ini file format somewhere as I can't find any in the web especially those with some calling custom utility function as I want to start the Performance Monitor myself which can stored as csv format?

Many Thanks.

yes. if using MSXML4.0SP2, I can start the PSSDIAG but my production server not allow me to apply them. If so, need to go through a complex QC cycle. So, only test on testing server but cannot apply them into Production Server.

Then I believe we are out of option, either you can open a case with Microsoft Support to have desired facility or follow whatever is available.
