Explanation:
You should use Reliability and Performance Monitor to set the performance logs and alerts on EBS1 manually to start at 2 P.M. The Windows Reliability and Performance Monitor is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in for Windows Server 2008 that provides a graphical interface for customizing performance data collection and Event Trace sessions. The Reliability and Performance Monitor combines all functionalities from previous stand-alone tools with prior versions of the Windows operating system, such as Performance Logs and Alerts, Server Performance Advisor, and System Monitor. When you open Reliability and Performance Monitor, you will see the performance logs and alerts option. You can open the performance logs and alerts and set the new log for memory and processor to be scheduled at 2 P.M.

You cannot use Windows Task Manager to schedule performance logs and alerts. Windows Task Manager is a utility that shows only the current applications, processes, performance, network usage, and users currently connected to the server.

You cannot use Event Viewer to schedule performance logs and alerts. Event Viewer is a utility that shows only the current event logs that are already created.
You cannot use Component Services to schedule performance logs and alerts. Component Services is a utility that only allows you to access Active Directory Users and Computers, Event Viewer, and Services.
