Reliability Monitor - Reset | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Member | Re: Reliability Monitor - Reset Shawn, I am beside myself. I love to track the reliability of my Vista machine... so, when I had a slight "hiccup" and dropped a few points I followed your article... to a "T". The only thing I did different was to re-insert files from a back-up that still had me at a perfect 10. After substituting the files it looked great and I had a "10" back.. alas with old dates. I waited 24 hours and then 48 hours, but the RAC never updated. I then deleted the files (so it looked like a new install) and again waited. Again the darn RAC will not update. I then looked in the task manager and saw that the RAC task seems to be getting an "access denied" on completion. ... I am an administrator for both my PC and the domain (this is an attached client on my home network). No policies and no UAC. I did do a system restore just before I tried all of this..... Any idea what I screwed up? I cannot for the life of me figure out why I am getting the access denied in the task manager. I compared the task on this machine to a known good machine and the tasks are identical. I am running Vista Ultimate 32 with nothing fancy other than Office and some of the usual "apps.". Any and all advice is appreicated. Charlie |

| Administrator | Re: Reliability Monitor - Reset Hello Charlie, and welcome to Vista Forums. See if taking ownership of the PublishedData and StateData folders to see if that will stop the "access denied" message. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Member | Re: Reliability Monitor - Reset Thanks Shawn for the quick reply!! I am familiar with the ownership concept under security. I read the article you pointed me to. I didn't see anything specific to the two directories or the RAC directory. In particular, can you tell me who needs to have ownership of the directories and what the permissions need to be? Sorry to be a pain. I really do appreciate the time you are taking to help! I really don't want to do a clean install.... again... Charlie |

| Administrator | Re: Reliability Monitor - Reset It's no problem Charlie. By default, both folders owner should be the Administrators group with full permission allowed. You should be able to take ownership of it with your administrator account user name and allow full permission for it to have access again. |

| Member | Shawn, Another question for you.... I reset my RAC again by using a set of saved data(folders) that still has a 10.0 rating froFebruary .My question is this. I run "racagent"... but that does not cuase the data to update in the Reliability Monitor. Evidently this only happens at 4AM daily (eventhough data is collected hourly). Is there a way to force an update to the monitor without waiting until 4Am tomorrow? Thanks again! Charlie |

| Administrator | Re: Reliability Monitor - Reset Hi Charlie, Yes, it will collect data every hour as per the task in Task Scheduler, but it will only update the Reliability Monitor every 24 hours with this data. In your case at 4AM. It cannot be changed or workred around as far as I know. |
