Performance Monitor Issue

[matthew_h]

2003 Server... Database & ERP system server...

When I try to add a Performance Monitor Object or 'Counter' , all of the
Objects are listed as numbers. For example, instead of PROCESS or MEMORY,
only 1152, 1154, 1156, 1158, 1160,... and so on... are shown in the drop down
list.

There are no service packs applied to this machine. It is a database server
running our ERP system and management won't approve updating the machine. I
believe the system is bottlenecking (has 2 GB RAM) but can't prove it without
Performance Monitor working.

Thanks in advance...

Mattehw,

Firstly sorry no idea why you are only getting numbers when running up
perfmon on the system.

Have you tried running perfmon on another machine and capturing the data
from your database server?

Thanks for the idea... but unfortunately, it showed the same... that is,
Performance Monitor Objects listed as NUMBERs
