Question

Non Administrators can not access Performance Counters

I have a problem with the ColdFusion performance counters in CF8 - 8,0,1,195765 enterprise version installed on Windows 2003 R2 Standard Edition SP2. The counters appear for administrators, but they are NOT available for Non administrators that are members of the "Performance Monitor Users" group. All other perfmon counters are visible by these users but not the CF8 ones. I do NOT want to give all users Admin access to my servers, just so that they can monitor the servers performance! Does anyone else have this problem?

    Paul, I don't know if you're the same VCAA user on the other perfmon thread here, but as I just posted there, it seems worth at least asking if you have applied the fix at:

    While it doesn't specifically list this symptom, it's worth checking.

    Hi Charlie, yes this is the same post. I have seen this technote and have followed the recommendation there but this has not fixed the issue. I'm using a 32bit CF and OS. The perfmon counters for CF don't seem to work the same way as the other perfmon counters do which is NON Administrators must be a member of the local "Performance Monitor Users" or "Performance Log Users" group do access perform or perform logs.

    Thanks for your reply though!
