Set permissions on ApplicationPoolIdentity for adding performance counters?

Hi,

I have a WCF(TCP/IIS7) application that needs to add performance counters on startup, this is a bit of my code for that : 

category = PerformanceCounterCategory.Create("Orbit5Service", "MyApp Application Service Counters", PerformanceCounterCategoryType.SingleInstance, col);

The problem is that this will throw an "Requested registry access is not allowed." excetpion. I really need to add this performance counters on startup so how do I grant the ApplicationPoolIdentity the rights to do that?

Solution

  • I hade to change the account that runes the AppPool to a account that do have admin rights.
