Q7240040 - I'm not able to monitor any Win32_PerfRawData counters. However, I'm sure they are installed on the monitored system. I can also see those counters in the Administrative Tools\Performance tools. What should I do?

This problem occurs because Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) uses AutoDiscovery/AutoPurge (ADAP) to build its internal performance counter table. If a particular service on the monitored computer was not started when the WMI ADAP process is started, the performance counters are not transferred to WMI.

Please run the following command from the command line on the monitored computer:

wmiadap /f

and then restart the wmi-service.
