Resource Kit Perfmib.dll Cannot Read Some SNMP Counters (195336)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q195336 SYMPTOMS
After installing the Perf2Mib utility from the Windows NT Resource Kit,
SNMP queries to various Performance Monitor Object Counters return a value
of zero.
CAUSE
The Perfmib.dll does not handle object instances correctly.
RESOLUTION
A new version of Perfmib.dll that resolves this problem is available on:
Please note that the Perf2Mib utility has been removed from the Resource
Kit as of Supplement2 and, consequently, future issues concerning the tool
will not be addressed.
MORE INFORMATION
Using Perf2mib.exe, the Performance Monitor MIB Builder Tool, developers
can create new ASN.1 syntax MIBs for their applications, services, or
devices that use Performance Monitor counters. Administrators can then
track performance of these components by using any system-management
program that supports SNMP.
This tool also creates a .mib file that can be used by an SNMP-based
management console to perform SNMP requests for the performance data in
question and, thus, to monitor performance remotely. This allows all
performance data available through the HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA registry key
to be exposed through SNMP.
