BUG #: 54939 (SQLBUG_70)



SYMPTOMS
If SQL Server is installed on a computer, adding a performance counter in the Performance Monitor while SQL Server is not running generates the following events in the Event Log:

Event ID: 1008

Source: Perflib

Description:

The Open Procedure for service "MSSQLServer" in DLL "SQLCTR70.DLL" failed. Performance data for this service will not be available. Status code returned is DWORD 0.

Event ID: 1001

Source: SQLCTR70

Description:

The description for Event ID ( 1001 ) in Source ( SQLCTR70 ) could not be found. It contains the following insertion string(s): SQL Performance DLL Open function failed.

Event ID: 1001

Source: SQLCTR70

Description:

The description for Event ID ( SQLCTR70 ) could not be found. It contains the following insertion string(s): Unable to open shared memory segment.

NOTE: The counter that you add does not need to be a SQL Server counter. The default Processor\% Processor Time counter logs the events.

The events can safely be ignored.
