Event ID 37 for WinMgmt Entries in the Application Event Log in Windows 2000

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
When you view the Application Event Log of a computer that you upgraded from 
Windows 2000 Release Candidate 2 to the retail version of Windows 2000, you may 
see several event ID 37s with the following parameters:


   Event Type:      Error
   Event Source:    WinMgmt
   Event Category:  None
   Event ID:        37
   Date:            2/7/2000
   Time:            10:05:55 AM
   User:            N/A
   Computer:        [machinename]
   Description:     WMI ADAP was unable to load the perfproc.dll
                    performance library due to an unknown problem within
                    the library: 0x0



CAUSE
These events can be logged because of a problem in the WMI Performance Library 
Dredger. In certain situations, the dredger incorrectly determines that a 
library is invalid even though the counter works correctly.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, run the following command on the computer to dredge the 
status data again

winmgmt /clearadap
or
winmgmt /resyncperf -p processID
where processID is the processID of the running WINMGMT process.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in pre-release versions of 
Microsoft Windows 2000.



MORE INFORMATION
For more information about the command line options available with WMI, type 
the following line at a command prompt:

winmgmt /?
NOTE: This problem was fixed in Release Candidate 3 before the final release of 
the product.

For additional information about the "dredger" process, search the MSDN CD-ROM 
or the following path on the MSDN Web site:

Providers Programming/WMI Providers/Performance Counters Provider
