Hi people,
        Thats happens with some instances, this a known problem, so MS made
a new realese (and this will be the last one, they won´t give support for
perf2mib anymore). Here is the site where you can find the new one and some
more information about this toppics.
Good luck.
Mike.

Resource Kit Perfmib.dll Cannot Read Some SNMP Counters       [winnt]
ID: Q195336    CREATED: 05-NOV-1998   MODIFIED: 23-FEB-1999
WinNT:4.0
winnt
PUBLIC | kbbug4.00 kbfix4.00

======================================================================
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 
 - Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---

SYMPTOMS
========

After installing the Perf2Mib utility from the Windows NT Resource Kit, SNMP
queries to various Performance Monitor Object Counters return a value of
zero.

CAUSE
=====

The Perfmib.dll does not handle object instances correctly.

RESOLUTION
==========

A new version of Perfmib.dll that resolves this problem is available on:

   ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/reskit/nt40/<Platform>

Please note that the Perf2Mib utility has been removed from the Resource Kit
as
of Supplement2 and, consequently, future issues concerning the tool will not
be
addressed.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Using Perf2mib.exe, the Performance Monitor MIB Builder Tool, developers can
create new ASN.1 syntax MIBs for their applications, services, or devices
that
use Performance Monitor counters. Administrators can then track performance
of
these components by using any system-management program that supports SNMP.

This tool also creates a .mib file that can be used by an SNMP-based
management
console to perform SNMP requests for the performance data in question and,
thus,
to monitor performance remotely. This allows all performance data available
through the HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA registry key to be exposed through SNMP.
