Hi,

I just noticed that one of our SQL 2000 box does not have SQL counters enabled , I mean I cant' see the counters when I execute Windows perfmon utility .

I checked few websites on this which explained that it could be due to some third party application which could disable it by adding a key in the registry as "Disable Performance Counters" valued "1" .
But I checked which is not there either.

Could this happen due to incorrect SQL server installation ?Is there any way I can turn on the counters or load it again . I think SQL server requires a restart .

Thanks

Search microsoft.com for missing performance counters and missing SQL Server performance counters. There are a couple articles dealing with this very issue in detail. Also, you do have the latest Windows and SQL Server service packs, correct?
