Hi,

I'm installing W2K with SP2 and have the following error which I can't seem to loose.

"The Open Procedure for service DNS in DLL C:\Winnt\system32\dnsperf.dll failed..."

The dll exists, the entries in the registry exist and I've reapplied the service pack since bringing up the DNS server.

Any ideas, I haven't found anything enlightening on MS support site...

Cheers,

Howie

The easy shortfix is to get the Exctrlst.exe: Extensible Performance Counter List utility from the resource kit. It is a graphical tool that allows you to disable specific performance counters. It is available online at:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/existing/exctrlst-o.asp

If you actually intend to run performance monitor and you are going to monitor dns, you might try uninstalling and reinstalling DNS or even just reregistering the dll, i.e. regsvr32 dnsperf.dll.

Later,
IC

Thanks Ian,

Excctrl.exe got rid of the errors and I wasn't using the counters anyway...

Tried regsvr to try and cure it completely but the dll wasn't exporting any COM objects.

Thanks again - Howie
