RE: Perfmon log does not show counters that I captured
While doing some searching on the web I see that others have had similar
problems. The one post indicated the performance service does not have the
permissions to open/modify the counters because it's running as Network
Service. The suggested solution was to change the identity to LocalSystem.
I would rather not do this and instead give whatever rights to Network
Service on whatever resources I need to. Though I don't know what resources
and what rights.

RE: Perfmon log does not show counters that I captured
Well I'm going to answer my own question here. We used ATL's perfmon classes
to implement our own performance counters. Those classes do not give
permission to the NetworkService account. I modified the ATL source to give
the NetworkService permission and things are now working.
