Sounds like a permissions issue. From memory I have heard of resolving a similar issue by adding the user to the Performance Counters group (or something like that).

Making the user an admin on the machine may also solve it, if possible.

No Group found with the name Performance Counters

i have added the user in to following group:
Performance Log Users
Performance Monitor Users

but still same exception is coming
