Agent patch install fails
I had a strange issue on a Windows 2012 R2 server where the agent installed fine but when I went to apply the KB3183990-amd64-Agent.msp patch it bombed out with this error: Product: Microsoft Monitoring Agent -- Error 25211.Failed to install performance counters.. Error Code: -2147024809 (The parameter is incorrect.) I installed the agent from the command line with this: msiexec.exe /i MOMAgent.msi /qb /l* %temp%\MOMAgentinstall.log USE_SETTINGS_FROM_AD=0 MANAGEMENT_GROUP=blah-name MANAGEMENT_SERVER_DNS=blah-server ENABLE_ERROR_REPORTING=0 ACTIONS_USE_COMPUTER_ACCOUNT=1 USE_MANUALLY_SPECIFIED_SETTINGS=1 NOAPM=1 AcceptEndUserLicenseAgreement=1 The problem is when you specify NOAPM=1 some performance counters will be missing. To fix just run this: msiexec /p KB3183990-amd64-Agent.msp NOAPM=1
