Some WMI metrics are missing for Windows applications

If you cannot discover WMI metrics for some applications on Windows hosts, you might need to "resync" the WMI agent on the Windows server:

On Win2000 hosts, run the following from a CMD window:

winmgmt /clearadap # clear all counters
winmgmt /resyncperf <process id>

You have to find the process ID of the winmgmt process in the Process tab of the Windows Task Manager.

On XP/2003 hosts, you need to use:

wmiadap /f

These problems are described more fully in the Microsoft KB article 820847.
