[Netsaintplug-help] Re: Re: NSClient Error: PDH.dll Collect CPU (karima)

[karima <ka...@wa...>]

I found this at http://nsclient.ready2run.nl/faq.htm#q6 :

 
What is the meaning of the error code found in the EventLog (ie. PDH.dll Collect CPU - ERROR: 0x80000...)
NSClient use the standard Windows API to query Windows for performance data. It may happen that these calls return error code. In this case, an event is logged in the Windows Event Log and a clue about the problem can be found in the file 'JwaPdhMsg.pas' present is the NSClient zip file (http://nsclient.ready2run.nl/download.htm)
