Error - Event Source: vmauthd

[IggysFriend]

Hi all,

I hope today finds you well and in good spirits.

I have vmware workstation 5 on Windows Server 2003 and get this error in the event log once, every time the machine reboots.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: vmauthd
Event Category: None
Event ID: 100
Date: 11/1/2005
Time: 10:57:46 AM
User: N/A
Computer: NWY-RC-GCS-01
Description:
Cannot find perfmon object in array returned by perfDLL, index=0

Performance is NOT affected.

I checked the performance counters but everything is running and looks ok.

Any clues what might be causing this? I'm not sure but this might have started when I was copying vmware machine folders in and out of the machines storage area. I don't think this caused it though.

Any help, as always, is appreciated.

Have you installed VMware tools yet?

If so, then get the Extensible Performance Counter List (exctrlst.exe) from

http://download.microsoft.com

or the Support Tools on your install CD.

When you run exctrlst, change the Sort Order to "Counter ID" and look for a counter named PerfOS.dll. Select that counter and see if "Performance Counters Enabled" is checked off. If it isn't, then put a check there. Then restart the "VMware Authorization Service." Check the event logs to see if the error occurs again.

good luck
