Hello,

The error I am receiving in my application log when my server starts is 5603:
Below I have pasted the specifics from event viewer.

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: WinMgmt
Event Category: None
Event ID: 5603
Date: 8/10/2005
Time: 2:25:14 PM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: SBS03
Description:
A provider, PerfProv, has been registered in the WMI namespace,
ROOT\CIMV2\MicrosoftHealthMonitor\PerfMon, but did not specify the
HostingModel property. This provider will be run using the LocalSystem
account. This account is privileged and the provider may cause a security
violation if it does not correctly impersonate user requests. Ensure that
provider has been reviewed for security behavior and update the HostingModel
property of the provider registration to an account with the least privileges
possible for the required functionality.

Can someone please assist me with this.

Looking forward to your response.
Thank you

HI,

Welcome to our SBS newsgroup.

Analyzing and suggestions:

================

Based on my research, this is a by-design behavior. The reasoning behind
the warning is that the operating system informs the administrators that a
WMI provider runs under the LocalSystem context. This is the reason why we
see this warning anytime the WMI service starts up.

Actually, this does not indicate a system error. We can safely ignore the
event. Please do not worry.

I hope this helps. Also, if you have any questions or concerns, please do
not hesitate to let me know. I am happy to help. :-)

Thank you for your time and cooperation!

Best regards,

Charles Yang (MSFT)

Hi,

I would like to add some additional information, do you have any problem in
monitoring component, if not you can ignore it as I refer in my reply. If
you encountered some problem in monitoring component, please also check if
you encountered any other error event in event view.

I would like to make sure that if you have applied SBS 2003 SP1, this
warning should be windows 2003 server related error. If you have not
applied the SBS 2003 SP1, you can refer to the following link for more
information:
