Re: Terminal Services counters in Performance Monitor - only available to Administrators?

The "fix" described in KB article 914539 did indeed cure the problem!
Thanks again, Vera!

It's perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.

Haven't checked it, but this seems to be your problem (and the
solution):

914539 - The Terminal Server object and the object of the Terminal
Server session for a Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server are
unavailable when you use Performance Monitor on a remote computer

Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services Enterprise (RTM plus all
available security hotfixes) in a Windows 2000 Domain.

I routinely monitor performance/load on a set of Terminal
Servers. Using a "normal" (non-administrative) domain user
account that is a member of the Performance Monitor Users
(local) group, I can monitor counters from most of the objects
on the servers (e.g. Processor - % Processor Time, Memory -
Committed Bytes).

But, the Terminal Services and Terminal Services Session objects
(and their counters) are only available in Performance Monitor
if I'm logged on (or use Run As) using an account that is a
member of the local Administrators group.

This happens whether I'm running Performance monitor while being
logged on to the server being monitored or while logged on at a
different server.

I also added my non-administrative domain user account to the
Performance Log Users local group, but the Terminal Services and
Terminal Services Session objects are still not available.

Anyone know of a solution to this problem?

I don't want to be constantly logged on as an administrator on
these Terminal Servers; using the Run As feature in XP and 2003
is a workaround, but it makes launching the Performance Monitor
more cumbersome than necessary.
