Some performance data of a remote computer is missing from a CSV-formatted log in Windows Vista or in Windows Server 2008

Article ID: 2641683 - View products that this article applies to.

SYMPTOMS

Assume that you monitor the system performance of a remote computer from a computer that is running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008. However, if you try to capture the performance data by using the comma-separated values (CSV) format, some performance data in the log is missing.

Notes

This issue occurs when you monitor the V2 performance counters.
This issue does not occur if you save the performance data by using a binary file format.

When this issue occurs, the content of the performance data log resembles the following:

"[Date] [Time]" "2"          "1"          "1"
"[Date] [Time]" "2"          "1"          "1"
"[Date] [Time]" " "          " "          " "
"[Date] [Time]" "2"          "1"          "1"
"[Date] [Time]" " "          " "          " "
"[Date] [Time]" "2"          "1"          "1"
"[Date] [Time]" " "          " "          " "
"[Date] [Time]" "2"          "1"          "1"
"[Date] [Time]" " "          " "          " "
"[Date] [Time]" "2"          "1"          "1"
