performance monitor in windows server 2012

Hi, 

when i run performance monitor I get an error "Unable to add those counters"

I search the internet, there is not any  post that talking about win 2012, in other posts I saw that I need to replace Perfc009.dat file and the Perfh009.dat and are in <var style="color:#333333;font-family:'Segoe UI', Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;">DriveLetter</var>:\i386\ but there is not i386 folder in windows server 2012 installation.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300956/en-us

Need help,

thanks

Lior

From a level your pointers to the perfmon Counters are corrupted, you have to rebuild these with LODCTR from a elevated command prompt.

1. Launch Command Prompt as Administrator (right click Runs As Administrator)
2. Drop into the C:\WINDOWS\System32 directory by typing CD\ then CD Windows\System32
3. To rebuild your resource counters type the following command:

lodctr /r

This will rebuild your counter values and may take a few moments so please be patient.

4. If you wish to query the counters to make sure they have set use:

lodctr /q

This will give you something like the following:

Performance Counter ID Queries [PERFLIB]:
    Base Index: 0x00000737 (1847)
    Last Counter Text ID: 0x00001560 (5472)

    First Help ID: 0x00001081 (4225)
    Last Help ID: 0x0000108D (4237)

etc

5. Now restart the services and check .
