As much as some may wish for Microsoft to abandon the consumer market and refocus on its enterprise business, that’s not going to happen.

Hi Guys, I new to using the Poolmon utility, and created a script to log it in every 5 minutes. However, I'm facing a problem, the switch "-n outputfilename.log" doesn't seem to output only the specific tags I want to log. I used, poolmon.exe /iAcp* /n outputfile.log command, but the log file results all the tags, and I've tried the poolmon.exe /iAcp* in the command line and it shows the result that I wanted, however if I add the /n switch, the output log file displays all the tags. My target is to log only specific tags. I do not want any other tags showing. Is this possible? If so, can you recommend some workarounds, preferably in the command line.…
