Hi
I'm trying to use some software called Monitor Magic to keep an eye on
my customers servers.
It works but I get bombed with warnings in the application event log.
The error is Perflib #2001 and the message is: The "MSSCNTRS" service
does not have a Performance subkey or the key could not be opened. No
performance counters will be collected for this service. The Win32
error code is returned in the data.
There's another with the same details but for MSExchangeIS
Looking into this using Knowledge Base I suspect that it is because
SBS has registry keys in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Current_Control_Set\Services\MSSCNTRS\Disable_Performance_Counters
= 1
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Current_Control_Set\Services\MSExxchangeIS\Disable_Performance_Counters
= 1
Can anyone tell me why?
Is it safe to switch these off by changing the setting to 0?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks Shane
