Cause :
The application is running as a user with insufficient privileges
Resolution :
Run the application as a user with sufficient privileges
By default, an application runs with the same privileges as the user who started it. You can configure services to run as the local system account or as a specific user. You can also start an application as Administrator, but in Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 with User Account Control enabled, you must confirm that you want to start the application each time it runs if it is configured to run as Administrator.
Consider running services that collect performance counter data as the local system account to resolve privilege issues.
If for security reasons you do not want to run the application or service as the local system account, you can add the user the application runs as to the Performance Log Users group and assign the group the Log on as a Batch Job user right to enable performance counter collection each time the application runs.
Membership in the destination computer's local Administrators group is required to complete these procedures.
  • Add a user to the Performance Log Users group
  • Assign the Log on as a batch job user right to the Performance Log Users group
Cause :
The list of counters is corrupt
Resolution :
Rebuild the list of available counters
Membership in the local Administrators group is required to complete this procedure.
To rebuild the list of counters in the registry:
  1. Click Start, expand All Programs, and expand Accessories.
  2. Right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
  3. At the command prompt, type lodctr /r, and then press ENTER.
Verify :
You can use Windows Reliability and Performance Monitor to verify that netowkr performance counters are properly collected and displayed in a Performance Monitor graph. In addition, you can use the typeperf command to get a list of the available counters on the local system.
Membership in the local Administrators group is required to complete these procedures.
  • View counters in Performance Monitor
  • View a list of counters using the typeperf command
