Environment
NetIQ AppManager 7.0.x
Situation
Source: Perflib
EventID: 1015
The timeout waiting for the performance data collection function "NetIQmc" in the "C:\Program Files\NetIQ\AppManager\bin\mccnt.dll" Library to finish has expired. There may be a problem with this extensible counter or the service it is collecting data from or the system may have been very busy when this call was attempted.
Resolution
This extensible counter is NOT required to be loaded in order for the AppManager agent to function properly. It is merely installed for troubleshooting purposes. Any errors generated by PerfLib, referencing this extensible counter (mccnt.dll) can usually be ignored.
In general, the Windows operating system will automatically disable any extensible counter DLL that it is unable to reliably load. The following Microsoft KnowledgeBase article explains how and why Windows may disable a counter, and how to manually re-enable that counter:
