    Whenever Server Manager tries to update I get the following error:

    "Performance counter refresh failed with the following error: Data Collector Set was not found"

    I've been looking all over and can't find anything on this. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance :)

    This worked for me...

    1. Open perfmon.exe on the server that is failing Performance counter refresh.  Verify a User Defined > Data Collector Set called "Server Manager Performance Monitor" is present.  If it is present and Stopped, then Start it.  If that data collector set is not present do the following:

    2. Open an elevated command prompt on a Windows Server 20112 computer that does not log this error in Server Manager and Export the User Data Collector Set.

    logman export -n "Server Manager Performance Monitor" -xml SMPM.xml

    3. Edit the SMPM.xml in notepad and remove the entire section <Security>DSIDs</Security> and save the file.

    4. Open an elevated command prompt on the computer where the Data Collector Set was deleted.

    logman import -n "Server Manager Performance Monitor" -xml SMPM.xml

    logman start "Server Manager Performance Monitor"

    5. Back in Server Manager delete the failed task and click the Refresh button for All Servers

    I had the same issue, I did the steps above. Fixed.

    Just remember to use the elevated command, "Run as Administrator" for power shell is how I did it.
