Enable resource monitoring on Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008

Overview

The Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 operating systems include security features that are not found in previous versions of Windows. You must adjust the security settings to collect resource monitoring data. To enable the resource monitoring feature on Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows Server 2008...

1. Start the Remote Registry service
2. Disable the remote User Account Control
3. Configure the firewall

1. Start the Remote Registry service.

   The Remote Registry service is disabled by default on Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008. This service must be running to collect resource monitoring data.

   1. Open the Administrative Tools Control Panel.

   2. Open Services.

   3. On the Remote Registry service entry, click Start.

   4. Optional: To launch the Remote Registry service automatically every time the operating system starts...
      Remote Registry service (right-click) | Properties

      ...and set the Startup type to Automatic.

2. Disable the remote User Access Control (UAC).

   When a user authenticates remotely, the UAC grants the user only standard privileges, even if the supplied credentials are in the Administrators group. To work around this, modify the registry key...

   LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy

   1. Open the Registry Editor...
      Start | Run | regedit

   2. Navigate to...
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

   3. Select...
      LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy (right-click) | Modify

      ...then change the value to 1.

   4. If the LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy key does not exist, right-click the right window, New DWord, then set the name LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy, and set value to 1.

      To reset these remote authentication settings to their original state, set key to 0.

   5. Restart the computer.

3. Configure the firewall. The firewall blocks remote administrative requests by default.

   1. Open the Firewall Control Panel.

   2. Click Change settings.

   3. Click the Exceptions tab.

   4. Select the Remote Administration option.

   5. Restart the computer.

4. To verify the Remote Registry path is accessible, open....
   Administrative Tools Control Panel | Local Security Policy | Local Policies | Security Options | Policy column | Network access: Remotely accessible registry paths and sub-paths (right-click) | Properties

   ...and ensure the following is displayed in the list...

   Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib

   If not, add.
