SUMMARY:
When Fathom initiates, it loads several libraries to memory. Some of
those libraries have dependencies on other libraries and/or services.
Thus, if some of those are not available or the services are not started, you might find errors like the following one in the admserv.log:
[10/18/01 2:51:34 PM] [0] [Fathom] * Error initializing Fathom
osmetrics library
In this case the osmetrics library was not initialized. This library is used to gather all the information from the system, such as CPU info, memory info, etc. (excluding ports information). However, if you check the DLL information for the AdminServer process, you find that this library is actually loaded, but you cannot make use of the system resources. Trying to access them, you get the error:
"One or more properties changes are invalid" .
EXPLANATION:
This situation is related to a dependency that the osmetrics.dll has
with one service from the Windows 2000 system called Remote Registry Service. This service provides the option to let remote procedures
work with the registry. Some security tools could stop or disable
this service so that no external sources can modify the local registry. Some users could also have this service stopped due to performance problems that existed earlier with Win2000 and RPC.
SOLUTION:
To avoid this problem this service must be started.
The service properties are accessed via Start > Settings > Control
Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Remote Registry Service.
