Exchange Server 2003 performance counters are not seen in Windows Management Instrumentation (820847)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Enterprise Edition
- Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Standard Edition
SYMPTOMSWhen you start a Microsoft Windows Management Instrumentation-based monitoring program on a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 computer, you may not see the results for the Exchange Server 2003 performance counters.CAUSEThis problem occurs because Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) uses AutoDiscovery/AutoPurge (ADAP)
to build its internal performance counter table. If the Exchange Server 2003 services are not started when
the WMI ADAP process is started, the performance counters are not transferred to WMI.
WORKAROUNDTo work around this problem, you can run the wmiadap.exe /f command to force the transfer of all the performance libraries. To do this, follow these steps: - Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
- At the command prompt, type wmiadap.exe /f, and then press ENTER.
- Type exit, and then press ENTER to close the command prompt.
- Start WMI.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
