I have a number of User Defined Data Collector Sets running on a Windows 2008R2 server, collecting perfmon stats from various servers.
Whenever there is a network interruption, or a server rebooted (at worst, when the server which is running all these DCSs is rebooted), I have to manually restart some or all of the Data Collector Sets.
Is there a way to configure them to automatically restart, or otherwise be more resilient?
Scott,

You can also use the solution at the link below to do this via Task Scheduler.
