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.
