Performance Counters for Baseline

I started my new job earlier this week, and I wanted to get a baseline of all our servers so that I have something to reference to later down the road.

Does anyone have any recommendation as to what counters I need to add? Also, we have over 40 servers, is there a way for me to get a baseline on each one without actually having to rdp into each server?

    You can connect to remote machines from Perfmon (if you don't have a centralised KPI collector). Besides CPU/RAM/Network I'd definitely add Disk-Q length - how deep you want to go depends on your requirements though (page faults, actual latencies and speeds etc.) but Disk-Q is often overlooked and is the simplest representation of hard drive efficiency.
    We responded to the Year 2000 issue with "Y2K" solutions...isn't this the kind of thinking that got us into trouble in the first place?
