SYMPTOMS
Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) counters disappear from the list of available counters in Performance Monitor.



CAUSE
This problem is caused by stopping, and later restarting the WINS service. The reason the problem occurs is because the WINS counter library routine that initializes, and binds the counters to the WINS Name Server is only called once. Because the initialization/bind routine is only called once, if the service is later stopped and restarted the Performance Monitor counters originally bound are no longer valid resulting in the counters disappearing.



RESOLUTION
This problem has been corrected in the latest Service Pack for Windows NT version 3.51.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51. This problem was corrected in the latest Windows NT 3.51 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
