Re: HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA

[Jeffrey Altman]

If you read the knowledge base article you will see that the exceptions are caught properly on Win2000 and above. However, on NT4 third party devices which plug-in to the performance engine did not always do the right thing and let exceptions slip out. I think this is what is causing the crashes on some servers and not others.

There is still an issue of dependence on the COM engine. Services employing OpenSSL must be loaded after the DCOM service has started.
