Perfmon - Redirector current command 0 result

  • 772

I'd like to monitor how many SMB connections there are at any given time for my 2008R2 file server, but when I add Redirector/Current Commands in perfmon, I get 0 results. This KB from Microsoft isn't exactly helpful either: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2523382 It mearly confirms there is an issue, but doesn't provide a work around.

How would I go about getting the current number of SMB connections?

Thanks for your help in advance.

  1. If I'm not mistaken, the Redirector perfmon counter object is the client side, not the server side. On the file server I believe you need to look at the Server|Sessions counter to see how many active SMB sessions exist on the server.
