Startup Log on as

[tfig001]

I am running Hostmon 3.44
I have a PDC and a BDC both NT4. Hostmon is installed on the BDC.If I run hostmon as a service under the local system account it reads the BDC cpu info fine.The PDC cpu info is not displayed. If I run Hostmon under a domain administrator account it reads the PDC cpu info but not the BDC where Hostmon is installed. Can anyone help, I haven't been using hostmon for very long.

Check your security eventlog and see if there is an access denied message. This will tell you which account tries to log on to the BDC.

I have checked in the Event viewer on the BDC, message is a follows.
Perflib
Access to Preformance data was denied to hostmon as attempted from D:Program FilesHostmonitor3hostmon.exe.

Any Ideas, I have looked at http://www.eventid.net and they haven't go it listed.

Its because local system account has permissions to read data from local system only.

>If I run Hostmon under a domain administrator account it reads the PDC cpu info but not the BDC

Try to check who has permissions to read performance data on BDC. The security on the following registry key dictates which users or groups can gain access to the performance data: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows_NTCurrentVersionPerflib. In order for to query performance data, account must have KEY_READ access to the above registry key. To change permissions to the registry key you can use the registry editor utility (Regedt32.exe).

I just tried that as I found it posted already, it has permissions for administrators, Full Control. So I tried adding in the Specific Domain admin account.
Still no luck, though I haven't rebooted that machine as I will have to wait until outside business hrs.
