NOTE: This version of Perfwiz has been replaced by a newly written script that is talked about in https://blogs.technet.com/b/mikelag/archive/2010/07/09/exchange-2007-2010-performance-data-collection-script.aspx

   Other roles coming soon....

   All Counters/All Instances
   Use this counter set at your own discretion as this could potentially cause performance degradation on your server trying to log this amount of counters.
