troubleshooting PERFMON counters

[Guest ScottW]

Last week I posted a question about troubleshooting performance moinitor

counters. Unfortunately it went unanswered.

 

I've got more information and am hoping someone may be able to point me in

the right direction.

 

I have a Windows 2003 Server that I am trying to run performance monitor

against. This server is running Exchange 2003.

 

Initially all of the Performance Monitor Counters and Objects would only

display as numbers - these numbers meant absolutely nothiing to me and made

collecting data impossible.

 

Using MS KB article 152513 I was able to determine that the "Performance

Registry Key" was missing the "009" subkey (don't know where it went - but it

was GONE!). Once I restored this key, I was able to get the basic counters

(RAM, disk, network, etc). And some of the registered services are listed -

but not all.

 

I've download Extensible Performance Counter List (Exctrlst.exe) and it

shows all the counters correctly and enabled.

 

I'm at my wits end and can't seem to find any information on troubleshooting

this issue.

 

Thanks.

Maybe try this kb instead: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300956

 

XP and Server 2003 have the lodctr command to rebuild the counters, try

sifting trough here if kb300956 doesn't fix things:

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

 

This fixed it. I have been searching for this information for almost 2 weeks.

 

Your response was extremely quick, concise and extremely helpful.
