Hi Dirk, So after rebooting these servers some of the perfmon counters are *still* missing. I assume this means I'll have to go and re-install the counters on the box (although having never done this any helpful pointers to knowledge base articles or such things would be cool).
It's worth noting that only the memory and performance counters did not come back (on 3 servers). The other perfmon counters I was using (some sql and web counters) did come back after the reboot. I did update SA though so hopefully I wont have to deal with this again. -chris > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Bulinckx > Sent: Tuesday, September 07, 2004 2:44 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [SA-list] Missing perfmon counters > > There is a know bug within the regsvc.exe file and the way > the perfmon check works will somehow trigger the bug and make > the regsvc.exe file use more and more memory. > In the latest beta version of SA we have an update perfmon > check that works around this regsvc.exe issue. > Two things will be "needed", one is a restart of the system > with that high regsvc.exe memory usage, and the other is to > run that latest version.
