perfmon to remote server

I'm not running SQLServer on my own workstation.
I am running perfmon, just as a matter of course, showing CPU and disk
and net traffic. I'd also like to monitor some remote SQLServers.
When I first clicked on the Add Counters dialog and typed in the name
of a SQLServer (say, "MySQLServer1"), it didn't connect, nothing
happened. But after I opened a fresh connection to MySQLServer1 for
the query analyzer, when I went back to perfmon, now it does list
\\MySQLServer1. But, it shows no properties for it.
Do I need some more advanced admin privileges on the remote boxes (or
network generally) for this to work?
Thanks.
JoshLocal Admins to read performance counters. Probably more specialized
security could be given, but Local Admins have the rights.
Sincerely,
Anthony Thomas
