Performance data for this service will not be available. Status code is data DWORD 0. These events will be repeated for several DLLs associated with various Exchange services.
CAUSE
One possible cause for this behavior is that DLLs associated with performance monitor have hung. The problem was traced to link monitors running against the Exchange Server computer.
RESOLUTION
Reboot all servers that have the link monitors running against the Exchange Server computer. After the servers have been rebooted, the errors should stop appearing in the Event Viewer.
