Created Unassigned: Creating Threshold Files from existing Data Collection Set Templates [24732]

I justed started looking at PAL recently.

I am trying to manuall create Threshold Files from existing Data Collection Set (DCS) Templates using the information contained in http://blogs.technet.com/b/clinth/archive/2013/01/08/how-to-create-a-threshold-file-for-the-pal-tool.aspx.

Several of the templates I am working with selected "All Counters" for certain categories in PerfMon.

The "All Counters" option in the "Add Counters" dialog in PAL is always greyed out. I played with editing a DCS Template XML file, extracting an "All" (i.e. \Network Interface(*)\*) value and then manually pasting this in. PAL took it, but this is very tedious having to already reproduce the templates in PAL threshold files.

How can the "All Counters" be enabled?

Also, there are Categories that are available in PerfMon on my servers that do not show up when I remotely connect to them via the "Browse Counters". Are there any limitations/settings that would create this circumstance?

Thanks in advance for any help regrading these questions,
Frank
