PerfMon Counters Not Available

  • 772

Unless I'm going crazy here, I'm having a problem trying to load some basic counters from one of our older Windows 2003 SP2.

Let's take Page Faults/sec as an example - when I try to add the counter, it is no where to be found, especially under the "Memory" component. I'm assuming this should be there, and it seems that other scattered counters are missing.

Has anyone run into this before?

Thanks.

Update: Also, it does not work either locally or remotely.

    Yep. Been there, done that. Counters can become corrupted and unavailable. Try this to fix the problem:

    Note that there is a tool to automate this process. It's called the Performance Counters Rebuild Wizard. It's an internal MS tool and not generally available for download. I was able to find and download it doing a Google search, but I no longer have or remember the URL for it. A Google search might turn it up for you.
