Dear Andrew,
I understand that the "LogicalDisk" counter is not displayed when you
connect to the remote computer. Here, I would like to confirm that the you
can select the LogicalDisk counter when you use the MMC locally on the
specific server.
Based on my experience, the LogicalDisk counter must be enabled before you
can use it. Please perform the following steps to enable the LogicalDisk
counters on the all the servers test this issue again:
1. Click Start click Run, type "cmd" (without the quotation marks), and
then press ENTER.
2. Type "diskperf -yv" (without the quotation marks) and then press ENTER
to enable the disk performance counters for logical drives or storage
volumes.
3. Restart the computer to load the LogicalDisk counters.
For more information, please refer to the following Microsoft Knowledge
Base article:

Have a nice day!

| Laura,
|
| Thanks for your help so far, you have been very helpful - by uninstalling
| the DELL array manager and run the dcomcnfg I have managed to get the disk
| manager from my servers working in the MMC of my local computer (step one
| solved). I have also added the performance monitor and am trying to set-up
| an alert when disk space on a remote server gets low. The main issue I
have
| now is that the object I need to monitor "LogicalDisk" is not available
| remotely via performance logs and alerts - it seems to only be available
| locally - should I see it or am I looking for the impossible. Thanks
