Perflib errors on Win2k Server

If you have clients still using Windows Server 2000, you’ll most likely run into the problem of Perflib errors running amok in the event log.

One solution I’ve found is to use the Resource Kit tool “Extensible Performance Counter List”.    http://tinyurl.com/yunqr3

Once you run C:\Program Files\Resource Kit\exctrlst.exe (a GUI), you highlight the offending entry, in this case, ASP.NET 2.0.5727 and uncheck the Performance Counters Enabled check box.

The change takes effect immediately.  There’s no “OK” button.

I’ve been tripping over this problem for some years, but I originally found this solution on EventID.net.  Great resource!
