WMI - Windows 2000 SP4 Invalid Class

I have a few Windows 2000 Servers running IIS that I wanted to monitor via Application Performace Monitor 2.0 and WMI. When I go to AppBuilder and try to setup my application monitor I get invalid class when selected my Performace Object. I have ran the WMI Test Utility from Microsoft and connected via WMI from my APM server succesfully. Any ideas?

See if running the following command on the Windows 2000 servers helps: winmgmt /resyncperf

AppBuilder browses the Formatted classes (Win32_PerfFormattedData). These classes are not available on Windows 2000. You can still manually create queries using the Raw Data (Win32_PerfRawData) if the values you need are not needing to be formatted (or "cooked").

Yeah I tried that..... Still no luck.

How would I go about doing this?

Josh,

I am trying to query Current Anonymous Users Total.

Here's something simple to try. I don't know if it will work or not, but its worth a try.

Create the component monitorin AppBuilder by browsing a Windows 2003 server (or XP). These will have the formatted values.
Edit the template or application you created. Edit the component's WQL. Change Win32_PerfFormattedData to Win32_PerfRawData
