Uninstall issues

Question

Hey, I have problems with PerfMon on one of the fifteen systems in the development environment. Access to it from the local machine is fine, but when you connect to it remotely, the message "Unable to connect" is displayed.

Each machine runs Win 2003, is connected to the same domain, and I have administrator rights for everyone.

It was found that some services are disabled, which are usually enabled by default, so I installed them in accordance with other machines on the network - they still have the same problem.

Any ideas?

Greetings

** Update **

Good - I found that the remote registry service was not working correctly, causing the above error; Once this was turned on, Perfmon now tells me: "No such interface is supported."

If I connect through Computer Management, it does not work the first time, but the second attempt is successful. Connection through perfmon is interrupted every time.

Answer 1

Bugfix - for those who are faced with this problem, I hope this can help you.

Enabling remote registry has fixed my first problem.

The second problem: "Without support for such an interface," there were problems with permissions in the registry. Apparently, the machine had rather obscure permissions set for certain registry keys, which are now irrelevant.

Resetting permissions with secedit fixed it -

secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose 

Perfmon counters are now available remotely.

Answer 2

We faced the second problem - “There is no such interface” when trying to “Connect to another computer” in the performance monitor.

All rules and services are running.

We found the following:

• If the user was added to the local administrator group, they were able to connect to another computer (regardless of membership in the Performance Monitor group).
• If the user was not a local administrator and in the performance monitoring group, we were not able to connect to another computer through the "Connect to another computer" context menu.
  • But we were able to add performance counters . In the performance monitor, when adding a counter, there is the option "Select counters from the computer." Thus, we were able to connect to the counters on the remote machine. Also note that if you plan on collecting data, you will need to set the correct credentials (by default, it runs under a local system user).

Answer 3

I recorded my case as follows:

• Add the “Logs and Performance Alerts” firewall rule from the predefined list of rules.
• From the client, run Performance Monitor as a remote user
  For example: runas /user:remote_machine\username "mmc perfmon.msc"

Of course, the user should be at least in the user groups “performance log users” or “performance monitor users”.
