Unable to Add Performance Counter error message on Win32 agent install

[boylesa]

If anyone has had (and has found a solution to the following) your help would be appreciated.

I am currently installing the win32 agent on an internal W2k Small Business Server.

The service is unable to install and the following is shown in the Log file:

Unable to add performance counter "\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time" to query: The specified object is not found on the system.

I'm a bit stumped as I've installed the agent on 4 other (identical to my knowledge) boxes and all have worked perfectly.

Thanks in anticipation

same trouble for me
is there any solution, how can cpu statistics be gathered in windows trough perfomance monitor ?

i have tried these variants:

PerfCounter= cpu5, "\Processor(_Total)\%Processor Time", 5
PerfCounter= cpu5, "\Processor(_Total)\Processor Time/sec",5

and agentd always made a notice in log file, like this one :

Unable to add user-defined counter "cpu5" (expanded to "\Processor(_Total)\Processor Time/sec") to query: The specified counter could not be found.

may be there is some mistakes in syntax ?

i have 1cpu windows 2003 enterprice edition box
and use 1.0 version of zabbix.
