Event ID 4005 — Performance Counter Status

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

Performance Counters are collected and used by services and applications. If they are installed incorrectly or with improper permissions, or if required files are not enabled on the system, those services or applications cannot collect or interpret the data.

Event Details

Product: Windows Operating System
ID: 4005
Source: Microsoft-Windows-PerfCtrs
Version: 6.0
Symbolic Name: TCP_LOAD_LIBRARY_FAIL
Message: Failed to load INETMIB1.DLL. Make sure the PATH environment variable contains the DLL. The WIN32 error number is returned in the data.

Resolve

Install INETMIB1.DLL

System Monitor requires the dynamic-link library (DLL) INETMIB1.DLL in order to monitor TCP/IP counters. When you install the TCP/IP protocol using Network and Dial-up Connections in the Control Panel, INETMIB1.DLL is not installed.

To install INETMIB1.DLL:

  1. Insert your installation DVD-ROM in the DVD-ROM drive.
  2. Click Start, click All Programs, and click Accessories.
  3. Right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
  4. At the command prompt, type expand <DVD>:\i386\inetmib1.dl_ %SYSTEM32%\inetmib1.dll and then press ENTER, where <DVD> is the drive letter of your DVD-ROM drive (e.g., D).

Verify

You can use Windows Reliability and Performance Monitor to verify that netowkr performance counters are properly collected and displayed in a Performance Monitor graph. In addition, you can use the typeperf command to get a list of the available counters on the local system.

Membership in the local Administrators group is required to complete these procedures.
