Windows 2003 Performance Counters with NCPA are not working

Hi,

Windows 2003 Performance Counters with NCPA are not working. It only returns the result as 0c instead of the actual value. The NCPA agent version is 1.8.1.

The same check works fine on Windows 2008+ servers.

Please see the example of check results on Windows 2003 servers.

[nxi01 libexec]# ./check_ncpa.py -H 10.0.0.1 -t 'token' -P 5693 -M 'windowscounters/Memory/AvailableMbytes' -w 200: -c 100:
CRITICAL: \Memory\AvailableMbytes was 0c | '\Memory\AvailableMbytes_0'=0c;200:;100:;

[nxi01 libexec]# ./check_ncpa.py -H 10.0.0.1 -t 'token' -P 5693 -M 'windowscounters/Memory/Available Mbytes' -w 200: -c 100:
CRITICAL: \Memory\Available Mbytes was 0c | '\Memory\Available Mbytes_0'=0c;200:;100:;

[nxi01 libexec]# ./check_ncpa.py -H 10.0.0.1 -t 'token' -P 5693 -M 'windowscounters/Memory/Available%20Mbytes' -w 200: -c 100:
CRITICAL: \Memory\Available%20Mbytes was 0c | '\Memory\Available%20Mbytes_0'=0c;200:;100:;

Thanks,
