The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Proxy Server, version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

You may see one or more of the following error messages in the event log:

Event ID: 1008 Source: Perflib The open procedure for w3pcache in DLL Mspmon.dll failed performance data for this service will not be returned.

Event ID: 1008 Source: Perflib The open procedure for w3proxy in DLL Mspmon.dll failed performance data for this service will not be returned.

Event ID: 1008 Source: Perflib The open procedure for wspsrv in DLL Wspperf.dll failed performance data for this service will not be returned.

In some situations, in addition to the above error messages, the Microsoft Proxy Server Performance Monitor shortcut may appear to open Performance Monitor with incorrect objects and counters.

CAUSE

These error messages can be caused if one or more of the following four registry values are missing or incorrectly set:

  • First Counter
  • First Help
  • Last Counter
  • Last Help

In one or more of the following keys: 

   HKey_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3proxy\
   Performance

   HKey_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Wspsrv\
   Performance

   HKey_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3pcache\
   Performance

WORKAROUND

Reinstall Microsoft Proxy Server to replace the missing or incorrect registry values.

You may also use the following steps to unload and reload the counters:

  1. From an Microsoft Windows NT command prompt, go to the following subdirectory on the Microsoft Proxy Server compact disc: 

          <drive letter>:\Msproxy\I386\Perfctrs

  2. Do the following commands in the order listed below: 

          unlodctr wspsrv
      unlodctr w3proxy
      unlodctr w3pcache
      lodctr wspperf.ini
      lodctr w3pctrs.ini
      lodctr cachctrs.ini

  3. If you are using Proxy Server 2.0, you will also need to issue the following commands: 

          unlodctr mspadmin
      lodctr pfctrs.ini

  4. Reboot the computer.
