Problem

This error keeps appearing in the event viewer in the Cisco Unity Server:

Source: Perflib 
event id:1008

The Open Procedure for service "DNS" in DLL "C:\WINNT\system32\dnsperf.dll" failed. Performance data for this service will not be available. Status code returned is data DWORD 0.

Solution

This problem occurs due to the perflib errors with the DNS check. Use the solution in this section in order to solve the problem.

Perform these steps in order to get rid of these errors in the application log:

1. In order to completely remove a performance monitor extension, first identify the service name of the product that supported the custom counters.

   In this case, the service name is DNS service.

2. Use RegEdt32.exe to traverse to the following subkey from Start > Run.

3. Traverse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\currentControlSet\Services\DNS\Performance using RegEdt32.exe.

4. Select the Performance subkey, then click Delete from the Edit menu.

   This action deletes the Performance subkey and all its values.

5. Delete the application log in the event viewer and reboot the Unity Server.
