RE: performancecounter object and remote server

Thanks Steven, I read the blog which has interesting information but it
doesn't apply to my context.
Yes, I am running through an account has same username/password on 3 mac
hines and which are all declared in administrators group.
So, I think I should not need to apply instructions mentioned in the blog

Hi Salam,

From your description, you're using the .NET performance counter to open
counters on remote machine, however, you got the following error, correct?

"System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception" error. Error message is
"The network path was not found."

based on my research, so far for remote performance counter accessing, the
following blog entry has mentioned some information:

#How to Read Performance Counters Without Administrator Privileges [Ryan
Byington]
http://blogs.msdn.com/bclteam/archive/2006/09/08/746900.aspx

Also, as you mentioned the non-domain environment, I think it is also
related to the problem. I've performenced tests on my side, in a domain
environment, I can get the code you provided run correctly(event if I try
running under a local account, has same username/password on both machine).
Are you running through an account has same username/password on both
machine and is it an administrator account?

Sincerely,

Subject: performancecounter object and remote server
Date: Tue, 27 May 2008 01:24:00 -0700


Has anybody worked with performancecounter object to access counters on
remote machine?
I managed to write code that retrieves counters categories froma remote
machine, when I try another remote machine I get
"System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception" error. Error message is
"The network path was not found."
I have checked running services (RPC, Remote registery.....) on both
machines and they are exactly the same.
I am wondering if there is anything to configure to allow access to
counters
remotly that I am missing on the 2nd machine.
The scenarion is as follows :
I have a workgroup,not a domain, 1 XP laptop (where I have VS 2005), 2
virtual win2k3 machines. when runing the code, the mentioned error happens
at
the following line

Dim AllCountersCategories As PerformanceCounterCategory() =
PerformanceCounterCategory.GetCategories(strServerName)

Regarding network connection, I can map a connection to both servers in
windows explorer. the user and password I use to log tomy XP machine are
also
created on both machines.

The error message really doesn't give any clue why I am not able to
retrieve
the 2nd machines counters whereas it it works like a charm with the other
server.
Thanksd in advance
