Enterprise Library June 2005 Instrumentation Issue

 I started getting the following error in one of the site that I am recently installing ( win 2000, .Net 1.1)

Access to performance data was denied to ASPNET as attempted from C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_wp.exe

After doing some googling found couple of direction to solve the problem. Thought I should post all the link for future reference.

This was giving a hard time even after assigning permission to the registry and following most the resolutions suggested in the above links etc. But at the end rebooting the server probably did the trick and things started working as expected.
