JSI Tip 0471 - How do I allow ordinary users to monitor server performance?

Grant read access to the following server files:

%windir%system32PERFCxxx.DAT
%windir%system32PERFHxxx.DAT

where xxx is the basic language ID for the system, 009 for English
(subtract 400 from HKEY_USERSControl PanelInternationalLocale).
If the files are missing or corrupt, expand them from the cd.

Using REGEDT32, give the user at least READ access to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionPerflib and all its' sub keys and to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetControlSecurePipeServerswinreg

When adding objects to monitor, the user can select the \Server.
