.NET Framework 2.0 Failure
Recently I have seen the following error message in the application event log on two different Windows 2000 servers at two different companies.
The Open Procedure for service "ASP.NET" in DLL "C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_perf.dll" failed. Performance data for this service will not be available. Status code returned is data DWORD 0.
In both cases the fix was to download and install .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 (reboot required) and the flood of event log errors was gone.
