[This topic is intended to address a specific issue called out by the Exchange Server Analyzer Tool. You should apply it only to systems that have had the Exchange Server Analyzer Tool run against them and are experiencing that specific issue. The Exchange Server Analyzer Tool, available as a free download, remotely collects configuration data from each server in the topology and automatically analyzes the data. The resulting report details important configuration issues, potential problems, and nondefault product settings. By following these recommendations, you can achieve better performance, scalability, reliability, and uptime.

The Microsoft® Exchange Server Analyzer Tool reads the following registry key to determine whether the Exchange server includes the Extensible Storage Engine (ESE) extended counters in its library of performance counters:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ESE\Performance\Show Advanced Counters
If the Exchange Server Analyzer finds that the data value of the Show Advanced Counters registry key is 1, the Exchange Server Analyzer displays a non-default configuration message.
The Exchange Server Analyzer reports this configuration for informational purposes only. No action is required.
