It is possible you need to reload your Performance Counters

see here for more detail

type loadperf as source on this link to see all the known error IDs ... unfortunately they did not have one for 3017 but it is very similiar to 3011

I hope this info helps and good luck

How do I get a back up text file to load my perf counters from?
