You can identify the machines you want to monitor with Visual Studio Analyzer. References to these machines are saved as part of your Visual Studio Analyzer project. Make sure the Visual Studio Analyzer Server components are installed on any machine you plan to monitor. Installing the Visual Studio Analyzer Server components is part of the Visual Studio setup. On Windows 95 you need to start the server components manually on any remote machine from which you plan to collect data. See Starting the Visual Studio Analyzer Server on Windows 95 for instructions on how to start and stop the Visual Studio Analyzer Server components.
