Hello All,

Trying to troubleshoot some issues with a Windows 2003 server. Wanted
to set up some counters in Performance Monitor only to discover that
all of the names are missing. The counters just show up with numbers.

Some research on the web led me to this:
http://www.itnewsgroups.net/group/microsoft.public.windows.server.general/topic5739.aspx

And this: http://technet2.microsoft.com/windo...5ca0-4f4f-b003-8f3f3e4514091033.mspx?mfr=true

On my system that PerfStringBackup.ini file is only 10k. I did the
lodctr /s: command to save a copy of the currently active counters --
that file was only 8k. Tried to restore off the 10k backup with
lodctr /r and that didn't fix anything.

I suspect the PerfStringBackup.ini file got overwritten a long time
ago (we don't need to use performance monitor all that often). Is
there a clean copy of this somewhere that I could obtain to try and
restore it off of that? Or am I barking up the wrong tree and should
be looking elsewhere to solve this problem?
