Hi Ben,

I have tried going through these steps to get the data to come through so far.

Both of these steps have been completed, the firewall is turned off, so step 2 shouldn’t matter:

Global configuration
Create a user and add the user in the user group.
If the firewall is enabled, open a command prompt and execute “netsh firewall set service RemoteAdmin enable”.

I tried running this command:

Problem:
A Microsoft element displays only some of the data. Data like Local Time, Total Physical Memory, etc. are filled in, while other data, like Total Processor Load, Total Handles, etc. remain empty. In the stream, you see that no answer is received on some queries.

Solution:
Execute the following command prompt: c:>winmgmt.exe /resyncperf PID_OF_WINMGMT_AS_SERVICE

I enabled remote registry to automatic:

Problem:
WMI is working and everything gets filled in, but Performance Monitor does not work. Pressing Refresh Categories provides the following error in element logging:
Exception Perf Counters The network path was not found.

Solution:
Check if the destination computer has the “Remote Registry” service running. If not, start this service. (Note that you may need to adjust the Startup Type from Disabled to Manual/automatic first.)

I am trying to complete this task but can’t find where the Disable Performance Counters is:

Problem:
Task Manager data through WMI cannot be retrieved. This can be related to missing “Process Performance Counters”.
Refer to this technet post for more info: http://blogs.technet.com/b/mscom/archive/2008/12/18/the-mystery-of-the-missing-process-performance-counter-in-perfmon.aspx

Solution:
Disable a specific flag on the Windows Register. Set the “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesPerfProcPerformanceDisable Performance Counters” to 0.

I am not sure how to make this change. I will attach some pictures.
