This article was previously published under Q315690 SYMPTOMS When you try to start a Performance monitor alert on your
Windows Server 2003-based computer, the alert may not start, and you may
receive an error message that instructs you to check the event logs for further
details. CAUSE This problem can occur because the Performance Logs and
Alerts service in Windows Server 2003 has been changed from earlier operating
systems to run under the "Network Service" security context to increase
security in Windows Server 2003. However, SMS 2.0 performance counters are
designed to run under the Local System account. WORKAROUND To work around this problem, change the "Performance Logs
and Alerts" service to run under the Local System account. STATUS Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems
Management Server version 2.0.
