Some Exchange Objects Cannot be Added to Performance Data Log Service

• Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

The Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit includes a utility called Performance Data Log Service. This utility functions much like Performance Monitor except Performance Data Log Service runs as a service and writes the performance data to a text file for analysis in a spreadsheet or database package.

If Microsoft Exchange Server is installed, several objects are added to the list of objects that can be monitored with the Performance Data Log Service. The following Microsoft Exchange objects cannot be monitored with the Performance Data Log Service.

Microsoft Exchange Information Store
Microsoft Exchange Information Store - private
Microsoft Exchange Information Store - public

WORKAROUND

The Microsoft Exchange objects listed above can be monitored with Windows NT Performance Monitor.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with the resource kit utility Performance Data Log Service. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
