Perlib EventID 1015

Hi Folks,
I am recieving perflib eventid 1015

Event Type:      Error
Event Source:      Perflib
Event Category:      None
Event ID:      1015
Date:            27/02/2009
Time:            1:25:54 PM
User:            N/A
Computer:      PUMPKIN
Description:
The timeout waiting for the performance data collection function "PerfOS" in the "C:\WINNT\system32\perfos.dll" Library to finish has expired. There may be a problem with this extensible counter or the service it is collecting data from or the system may have been very busy when this call was attempted.

I got a tip that someone fixed this with
winmgmt /resyncperf

What is this and what ramifications will it have for my systems (a sql server 2000 with win2000) machine. For example will I need to reboot.

Have you tried that out:

"winmgmt /resyncperf" command Registers the system performance libraries and its a sure shot to solve your problem

Details:
This problem deals with Winmgmt. Winmgmt is the WMI service within the SVCHOST process running under the LocalSystem account. In all cases, the WMI service automatically starts when the first management application or script requests connection to a WMI namespace.

Causes:
Some of your library files in Winmgmt would have got corrupted.

Resolution:
Run "winmgmt /resyncperf" to register all files including your corrupt one. If you dont want to disrupt others, then run this Diagnostic Utility given below to find out which one is creating the problem

And then register that particular winmgmt service process id alone using

winmgmt /resyncperf <winmgmt service process id>

There is no need to Reboot for this step. And for complete details of winmgmt, refer the link below:

OK I seem to have a problem with the diagnostic utility.

When I run it tell me wscript.exe is the default scripting engine. but it continue on and then end up saying WMI service is ok. I cannot find any intelligence log file (one is in binary in the %TEMP% dir)- what are they supposed to be called? I am also running windows 2000 which the instruction say cannot check the registry under.

you mentioned that if I don't want to disrupt people I need to run this. What kind of disruption are we talking about here?
