The remaining objects are listed but may provide inaccurate data. CAUSE ===== As SMS performance objects are reinstalled, some objects' indices change. Programs that cache performance object indices cannot view performance objects until the cache is refreshed with the new indices. WORKAROUND ========== To work around this issue: 1. Stop the following SMS services on the site server: SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER SMS_EXECUTIVE SMS_SQL_MONITOR SMS_NT_LOGON_DISCOVERY_AGENT Windows Management SMS_LICENSE_SERVER 2. Stop any local or remote Performance Monitor tools that are accessing performance data on the site server. When all performance objects are released, the full eight SMS performance objects will be displayed. 3. Restart the SMS services by starting the SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER service. This restarts all services automatically. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
