Problem with performance counters and the pagefile.

[news.microsoft.com]

Hi,

I am using the performance counter '\System\System Up Time' to retrieve the
current uptime of the system. However when I set the pagefile to zero-length
this performance counter disapears. It even seems if a complete other set of
performance counters is active after changing the pagefile to zero-length.
When restoring the pagefile, the problem persists.

We remove the pagefile because we duplicate our systems with 'ghost images',
this saves a lot of time and diskspace.

Could anyone help me or explain this problem?

Regards,
Peter.
