Error on running PerfFormattedData queries

[Christopher Attard]

Hi, I'm trying to run the following WQL using WMIC from command prompt:

wmic PATH Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process GET IDProcess,VirtualBytes,WorkingSet

and it's returning something like:

ERROR = 0x80041010

Description = Invalid class

Facility = WMI

instead of the values requested. Sometimes it returns also "Description = Provider Failure".

I'm using a WinXP machine with SP1 and .NET framework 1.1 installed. Do you think there might be something wrong in the WMI repository? I've also tried the query from a script and returns the same error.

Regards,

Christopher Attard

You can run wbemtest to see if the class exists.
If not, you should try to run wmiadp.exe from %windir%\system32\wbem in order to restore the high performance counters in the repository.

Also note that this is not related to CSharp, you should post to a WMI NG.

Did you check the presence of the Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process class using wbemtest.exe?

If they are missing you should try to run "wmiadap /f"

or, "winmgmt /clearadap"

Using wbemtest.exe, it is being listed as a child class of Win32_PerfFormattedData. But when trying to enumerate the instances of Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process an Error dialog pops up (number=0x80041010,description=invalid class). I've also tried out running "wmiadap /f" and winmgmt /clearadap" but it was all in vain.

Note that this error's behaviour is completely random, sometimes it is raised and sometimes the query works perfectly.
