    I've got a server 2008 SP2 box. We recently have been having issues with monitoring (nagios) and traced it back to perfmon and the WMI performance adapter on the server. The WMI performance adapter service stops itself after about a minute of being started with the following vague error - 

    The WMI Performance Adapter service terminated with the following error: 
    Unspecified error

    In perfmon I'm missing basic counters like logical disk, system, and memory. Without these counters our nagios monitoring isn't working. I have already tried to rebuild the counters with 'lodctr /R' and using the steps here http://blogs.technet.com/b/yongrhee/archive/2009/10/06/how-to-rebuild-performance-counters-on-windows-vista-server2008-7-server2008r2.aspx to no avail. The commands complete successfully and I've rebooted the server but still no basic counters.

    Any ideas? TIA!
