Over the past couple of weeks I got to almost identical cases where the customer had the event log on their servers “spammed” by the following messages:
Event Type: Warning Event Source: WinMgmt Event Category: None Event ID: 40 Date: <date> Time: <time> User: N/A Computer: <computername> Description: WMI ADAP was unable to create the object Win32_PerfRawData_ASPNET_2050727_ASPNETAppsv2050727 for Performance Library ASP.NET_2.0.50727 because error 0x80041001 was returned
Event Type: Warning Event Source: WinMgmt Event Category: None Event ID: 35 Date: <date> Time: <time> User: N/A Computer: <computername> Description: WMI ADAP was unable to load the ASP.NET_2.0.50727 performance library because it returned invalid data: 0x0
Article How to troubleshoot WinMgmt-based performance counter errors does not help in this case (we do not have Event ID 37, 41 or 61).
The fix for this problem was scheduled to be added in .NET 3.5 SP1 (as also explained in this post) then we decided to ship a standalone hotfix too: the KB article is not yet available but you can request the fix (which by the way resolved both my cases) to CSS as usual, asking for 951683.

Thank you! The only way I've been able to fix this error until now was to disable the counter using excrtlst.exe (Extensible Counter List). Thanks for giving the hotfix number.
I seem to have just this error. I had installed MOSS 2007 on a WinSer 2003 R2 box, was running the Sharepoint Configuration and Technologies Wizard when it shut down and I found these errors.
I'm just an end-user, so how do I get this unpublished hotfix?
Mike, as long as you have purchased one of Microsoft products you can always give CSS a call to have support or ask for an hotfix... have a look at this post (http://blogs.msdn.com/raffael/archive/2008/05/14/get-what-you-paid-for.aspx) from my colleague Raffaele for further info :-)
HTH
I don't have SA, so can't contact CSS without paying first. Isn't there SOME way to get this hotfix? (I saw that .NET 3.5 SP1 Beta is out, but I am hesitant to get it until it's in final form.)
Mike, you can contact CSS even if you have purchased a Microsoft product in a store (say the Visual Studio box, for example), or if you have a valid MSDN subscription etc...
I'm not sure if you can open a "grace" call directly, I think the screener (the person whom will first take your call) will have to check for a valid Product ID anyway, but you can give it a try if you wish.
The call will be closed as "Non decrement" anyway, so even if you'll need to purchase a PPI (Pay Per Incident) you'll get a refund (or even better your credit card will not be charged because the transaction will be cancelled), but I understand that might not be the same "feeling" as having a free incident.
I just had a look on Code Gallery (http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Project/ProjectDirectory.aspx?TagName=Hotfix) where it's possible to find and download some fixes without involving CSS, but I've not ben able to find this one, sorry...
You can give SP1 a try but you're right, that is still a beta version so install it with care if that is a sensitive/production machine.
Thanks for the additional information.
Called the toll-free number and was told that they couldn't give me the hotfix. Since it didn't have a corresponding KB article, they consider it unsupported and so won't give it out.
Guess I'll have to wait.
I was able to request this fix from MS, with a bit of hesitation...
I have the hot fix now and will be installing it this evening.
if my server blows up, I will let you know
Any solution yet?
