Even after we have added people to the new Windows 2003 Performance Monitor
Users group they are unable to get at the performance counters on some of our
servers. The only servers they can access are the domain controllers.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

That would mean to me you added them to the performance monitor group on the DCs
but not on the member servers.

If you are in native mode, you could nest the domain perfmon group into the
local perfmon groups on the members. Otherwise you will need to add the users
directly to the groups on every member server.

This is a different problem than stephen has posted...

I am trying to get those remote performance counters to work in a software that uses a similar api to that of perfmon (start > run > perfmon)…except it has something called IPC$ (IPC share as opposed to admin share), and this supposedly allows me to remotely access those counters but not have full admin rights.

Well this works fine if it’s a local user but if it’s a domain user, then I can’t pull those counters.

Any idea what’s involved when I create a domain user that is a member of the “Performance Monitor Group” ?

Is there a tool out there that can help me pinpoint why I can’t connect or is there a registry key that I need read rights to ?

Thanks!
