Message on Citrix Box

The timeout waiting for the performance data collection function "PerfOS" in the "C:\WINNT\system32\perfos.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.

Hi,

In the Services part of the registry, a subkey of PerfOS will be "Performance". If you export this key for security, then delete just the "Performance" key and restart your server, this warning will disappear.

You take the risk of deleting anything on your system and take full responsibility of your actions. Please ensure adaquate backups are in place. "On your head be any changes"

Cheers,
Carl.
