SMS NetMon Counters for Network Segment Object Show Wrong Info

ID: Q135008

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5
Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1

SYMPTOMS

With the Network Monitor Agent installed, you can gather performance data using Performance Monitor, which has the following counters, on the network segment object:

Percent Multicast Frames

Percent Network Utilization

Broadcast Frames Received/second

Multicast Frames Received/second

Total Bytes Received/Second

Total Frames Received/Second

However, if you are running Network Monitor version 1.1 (included in Systems Management Server 1.1) on Windows NT versions 3.1 or 3.5, the information shown in these counters may be incorrect.

CAUSE

Network Monitor 1.1 uses counters types that are only correct for Windows NT version 3.51.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, remove the Network Monitor 1.1 Agent and re- install the Network Monitor 1.0 Agent.
