Installation and Setup

Re: Problems on install .net framework 2.0

I had the same errors here after I installed .net framework 2.0.

However, i found that I did not have IIS installed in the Windows Components. After installing this, then running aspnet_regiis /i I nolonger get these errors, and the setup log now shows that the perf counters are correctly installed.

Hope this helps!

whnet:
I installed .net framework 2.0 on the server (SBS2000). The first thing I noticed was a "Perflib" problem under the Application Log of the Event Viewer: "The Open Procedure for service "ASP.NET" in DLL "C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_perf.dll" failed. Performance data for this service will not be available. Status code returned is data DWORD 0." A second problem was the installation did not create "Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 Configuration" link under Administrative Tools on Start menu. I tried both repair and reinstall it. The problems still exist! Help!!

The Issue
There are some registry entries missing that define the Counter ID Range and Help ID Range.

On my Win2000 Server running SBS 2000 I found a couple of bad performance counters in the Registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ASP.NET\Performance
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ASP.NET_2.0.50727\Performance

Both of them were missing entries for First Counter, Last Counter, First Help, and Last Help

What Caused it?
I haven't been able to track that one down yet. I noticed it after I installed .Net 2.0. I ran .net 2.0 SP 1 but that didn't change anything.

How do I fix it?
I can offer two ways to work around this issue, Disable the Performance Indicator or Replace the Registry Values.To Disable the Indicator:
1. Download the 'Extensible Performance Counter List (exctrlst.ext) tool from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927229
2. Run the tool, Sort by Service, look for performance keys that have 'Not Found' in the Counter and Help ID ranged.
3. Uncheck the 'Performance Counters Enabled' box for each one you find.
4. Restart the 'Windows Management Instrumentation' Service

Add the Registry Values: (Not Recommended)
1. Run Registry File to Add Missing Keys. (You might need to modify this if you have different performance keys missing data)
2. Restart the 'Windows Management Instrumentation' Service.

I pulled some registry values from another windows 2000 server and restarted the 'WMI' Service. I got some positive results. I don't see any more Event 1008 messages but I did get a couple of warning messages:
- The data buffer created for the "EXOLEDB" service in the "D:\Exchsrvr\bin\exodbpc.dll" library is not aligned on an 8-byte boundary. Source = Perflib, Event ID: 1016
- Two other warning messages from WinMgmt, Event ID 39 and 35

I don’t recommend this as your final solution but it’s always fun to roll the dice and see what happens. Personally I just disabled the values on my server.

The registry script is:
---------------------------------------------
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ASP.NET\Performance]
"Last Counter"=dword:00002568
"Last Help"=dword:00002569
"First Counter"=dword:000024aa
"First Help"=dword:000024ab[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ASP.NET_2.0.50727\Performance]
"Last Counter"=dword:000024a8
"Last Help"=dword:000024a9
"First Counter"=dword:000023ea
"First Help"=dword:000023eb
--------------------------------------------------- I found a lot of message thread on the subject so it's a issue that's driving a lot of admin's crazy. I hope this helps.

Hi, I've noticed that a Win2000 web server i've been maintaining has just started up with this same issue. The log is basically full up, but i can see that its been occuring since at least 03/July/2007. Interestingly, on 01/July/2007, there were a few windows updates installed. could this have anything to do with the issue? One of my main concerns is that it seems to also be causing the ASP .Net worker process to recycle quite often. This is a problem because it is a production box running 2+ .Net v2.0 sites. Any help appreciated

I was having the same issues with a Windows 2000 server and found this thread. In restarting the WMI service, I noticed that Event ID 2003 was logged:

The configuration information of the performance library "C:\WINNT\system32\w3ctrs.dll" for the "W3SVC" service does not match the trusted performance library information stored in the registry. The functions in this library will not be treated as trusted.

In searching for event ID 2003, I came across the following KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/267831. I tried the suggested fix, rebooted and no more annoying error messages every 2 seconds. Not sure if this will solve everyone's issue, but I hope it helps.

I Have the same fu***ng problem on a win2k server wich is Webserver and Exchange server. I'm about to try the "andyatwork solution" but I'm wondering if it'll be the right thing: I have a web-based application installed in my webserver written in C#. I don't know if uninstalling framework 2.0 will make some problem for that application.

Best regards to all

Barrey:
I was able to use the exctrlst.exe tool (download from MSFT) to view the performance counters and disable the ones for ASP.NET and AST.NET_2.0.50727 instances, these were both missing both the Counter ID range and the Help ID range.

After a restart, no more perflib errors.

This was on a Win2K SBS server, YMMV.

I am also working on a production 2000 SBS server w/exchange and ran into the same problem. I have followed everything in this thread up to this point. Although I am doubtful this is the absolute solution, this currently is supressing the errors in the application log for me. I have yet to reboot(production) however so far everything appears peachy.

Will post back later if things change, unfortunately this server is scheduled to be decommisioned shortly and will be out of my hands in the near future.

I'm not sure what you mean here.

So has anyone come up with a fix here?

I have the same issue running Server 2003 since applying some windows updates approx 2 weeks ago. I may just remove asp.net 2.0 as its not really needed. Has anyone had an update recently on these problems?

Has anyone had any updates since the last post? I have just had this start appearing on my windows 2003 domain controller and appear to be getting around 2-3 per second going into the app log.
