One of my Windows 2003 servers has for some reason had its performance counters clobbered:
I'm about to embark on restoring them to their former glory using the steps in this Microsoft Knowledgebase article:
The article reads as if there are two ways to do this:
Either - Rebuild the base performance counters and then re-add the extensible counters
Or - To rebuild all Performance counters including extensible and third-party counters in Windows Server 2003, type the following commands at a command prompt. Press ENTER after each command.
cd\windows\system32
lodctr /R
All of the extensible counter .ini
files seem to be present and correct in C:\WINDOWS\inf\009
.
Can I just go straight to running lodctr /R
?
