 If you have a performance problem or want to analyze and possibly improve the performance of a client computer, you can use DCSs to gather performance data and compare it against your baselines. The following high-level procedure creates a custom DCS:  

1. To create a new Data Collector Set (DCS) via the wizard: In the Performance Monitor console (start > run > perfmon), expand Data Collector Sets, right-click User Defined, select New, and then select Data Collector Set.
   • 
2. On the Create New Data Collector Set page, specify a name for the set, for this test lets give it the name DCS-Test.
3. Ensure that Create From A Template (Recommended) is selected. Then click Next.
   • 
4. On the Which Template Would You Like To Use page, you have three options (click next when ready):
   1. Basic
   2. System Diagnostics
   3. 
5. On the Where Would You Like The Data To Be Saved? page, click Next to accept the default location for the data (%systemdrive%\PerfLogs\Admin\DCS-Test) or feel free to change the path if necessary.
6. On the Create The Data Collector Set page, leave Run As set to the <default>. Alternatively, click Change and specify alternative administrative credentials (locally or domain)
7. Select one of the following three options, and then click Finish:
   1. Open Properties For This Data Collector Set
   2. Start This Data Collector Set Now
   3. Save And Close
