Notes

  • To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. If the computer is joined to a domain, members of the Domain Admins group might be able to perform this procedure.

  • To open Performance, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Performance.

  • PBServer Monitor counters are not available unless PBS has been started. PBS starts automatically when a client computer requests a phone book. To simulate a client request, type the following in the Address box of your browser, and then press ENTER:

    https://localhost/pbserver/pbserver.dll?osarch=0&ostype=0&osver=1&cmver=1&lcid=1033&pbver=0&pb=[phone_book_name]

    For example, if the phone book name is Awesome, you would type:

    https://localhost/pbserver/pbserver.dll?osarch=0&ostype=0&osver=1&cmver=1&lcid=1033&pbver=0&pb=Awesome

Information about functional differences

  • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
