Automating Performance Monitor Statistics Collection for SQL Server and Windows

Problem
You have about 100 SQL Servers installed in your production environment. You have performance problems on few of the servers, but they happen during the time when you are not watching the servers. So, how can you automate performance statistics collection on all the servers around the clock so we have the statistics for 24/7/365.

Solution
You can use the built-in windows utility "logman" that comes free.

Logman is the command line utility for Perfmon. Thru logman, it is easy to automate perfmon data collection which I will show you below.
