Reliability Monitor is Empty in Server 2008

By

On some installation of Server 2008, the Reliability Monitor does not record data.  The instructions below are from Microsoft and I’ve tested them out.  They do work.

 

  1. Click Start, type Task Scheduler in the Search box, and then click Task Scheduler.
  2. Enable the trigger that regularly starts the RacTask task.
    1. In Task Scheduler, expand Task Scheduler Library, expand Microsoft, and then expandWindows.
    2. Right-click RAC, click View, and then click to select the Show Hidden Tasks command.
      Note If the Show Hidden Tasks command is already selected, go to step 2c.
    3. Double-click RacTask.
    4. In the RacTask Properties dialog box, click the Triggers tab.
    5. On the Triggers tab, double-click the One time trigger.
    6. In the Edit Trigger dialog box, click to select the Enabled option, and then click OK.
    7. In the RacTask Properties dialog box, click OK.
    8. Close Task Scheduler.
  3. Update a registry setting.
    1. Click Start, type Regedit in the Search box, and then click Regedit.
    2. In Registry Editor, set the value of the following registry entry to 1:

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Reliability Analysis\WMI\WMIEnable

  4. Restart the computer.

Error icon when creating a GPO Preference drive map

By
You may not have an error at all.  Take a look at the drive mapping below. The red triangle is what threw us off.  It is not an error.  It is simply a color representation of the Replace option of the Action field in the properties of the drive mappings. Create action This give you a green triangle. The Create action creates a new mapped drive for users. Replace Action The Replace action gives you a red triangle.  This action will delete and recreate mapped drives for users. The net result of the Replace action is to overwrite all existing settings associated with the mapped drive. If the drive mapping does not exist, then the Replace action creates a new drive mapping.
