SMS NetMon Counters for Network Segment Object Show Wrong Info (135008)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.0
  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.1

This article was previously published under Q135008

SYMPTOMS

With the Network Monitor Agent installed, you can gather performance data using Performance Monitor, which has the following counters, on the network segment object:

  • Percent Multicast Frames
  • Percent Network Utilization
  • Broadcast Frames Received/second
  • Multicast Frames Received/second
  • Total Bytes Received/Second
  • Total Frames Received/Second
However, if you are running Network Monitor version 1.1 (included in Systems Management Server 1.1) on Windows NT versions 3.1 or 3.5, the information shown in these counters may be incorrect.

CAUSE

Network Monitor 1.1 uses counters types that are only correct for Windows NT version 3.51.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, remove the Network Monitor 1.1 Agent and re- install the Network Monitor 1.0 Agent.
