    Hi,

    I have utilized DFS between two W2K3 R2 servers but I encounter following error when executing Diagnostic Report in my DFS Management console:

    Cannot access DFS Replication performance counters.
      Affected replicated folders: All replicated folders on this server.
      Description: The DFS Replication service is unable to access the performance counter DFS Replicated Folders(DFS_STO_TBG_Source-{29E75B6A-A67B-472E-BA24-A6F4DEC33D6D})\File Installs Succeeded on TABTBGSRV003. Performance data is unavailable. Error ID: 0xc0000bdb.
      Last occurred: Monday, June 29, 2009 at 3:58:46 PM (GMT1:00)
      Suggested action: For information about troubleshooting this problem, see .


    I get the same error on both servers.

    Anyone that had a similar issue?

    # for hex 0xc0000bdb / decimal -1073738789
      PDH_ACCESS_DENIED

    It is likely the registry permissions on either of the following registry keys is too restrictive:

    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib
    or
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers\winreg

    Compare against these defaults and fix as necessary:

    Administrators - Full Control
    Creator Owner - Special
    Local Service - Read
    Network Service - Read
    Performance Log Users - Read
    Performance Monitor Users - Read
    System - Full Control

    Hi Johan,

     

    I agree with Ned.

     

    Meanwhile, you may also consider applying the following hotfix onto that problematic server.

     

    FIX: You cannot access performance counters in the Distributed File System (DFS) Replication health report on a computer that is running Windows Server 2003 R2

    Hope the information will be helpful for you.

    Hi Ned,

    Excellent!

    Updating the permission for the reg. keys proposed by you solved the problem.

    Thanks a lot!

    Talk to you later.

    Hi David,

    Ned´s proposal worked out well.
