SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:
  • You configure a Data Collector Set on a remote computer that is running a pre-Windows Vista version of Microsoft Windows.
  • You are a member of only the Performance Log Users group on a Windows Vista-based computer and on the remote computer.
If you then run the logman query command from the Windows Vista-based computer to query the Data Collector Set on the remote computer, the command runs successfully. However, if you run the logman update command to change the credentials under which the Data Collector Set runs, you receive the following error message:
Error:
Collection already exists.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, log on to the remote computer to update the credentials under which the Data Collector Set runs.
