Corrupt Performance Counters in precheck? PowerShell saves the day

[Anonymous]

When installing Vault Professional Server 2018, there was one pre-check failure: rebuild performance counters

What worked for me in the end was to run the following commands in PowerShell:

PS C:\Windows\system32> cmd
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.2.9200]
(c) 2012 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Windows\system32>lodctr /R

Error: Unable to rebuild performance counter setting from system backup store, error code is 2
C:\Windows\system32>cd ..

C:\Windows>cd syswow64

C:\Windows\SysWOW64>lodctr /R

Info: Successfully rebuilt performance counter setting from system backup store
C:\Windows\SysWOW64>winmgmt.exe /RESYNCPERF

C:\Windows\SysWOW64>

My Setup:

• Vault Professional Server 2018
• Windows Server 2012 R2
• SQL 2014 SP2

HTH someone out there.

Hi @Anonymous,

Thank you for sharing, running these commands definitely faster than reinstalling windows or restoring from save point.
