Env.: Win2k3, SQL2k SP3

I want to monitor the Production server. I can run Profiler on another machine and set it to monitor my production. I can also use Profiler to create a trace script and run it in QA on the same machine instead of Profiler.

Which one has less impact to production?

The answer seems obvious that a script should be better than a GUI utility like Profiler but I am looking for any Microsoft suggestion or any practical experience.

Thanks,

Canada DBA

Don't think it matters so long as it is not run on SQL Server box itself
