Setting "Squeaky Lobster" performance counter settings
Author:Â Susan Bradley MVP
In the history of Microsoft registry entries, "Squeaky Lobster" is a historical database performance counter that can be set under HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\Services\ESENT\Performance /v "Squeaky Lobster" /t REG_DWORD /d 1
- Open Registry Editor.
- Navigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ESE\Performance.
- Right-click Performance and select New | DWORD Value.
- Name the new DWORD value Show Advanced Counters.
- Double-click Show Advanced Counters.
- In the Value data field, enter 1.
- Close the registry editor.
However, one can replace the "Show Advanced Counters" with the work "Squeaky Lobster" and the registry setting will work.
For more detailed history of "The Squeaky Lobster" and how it got named that way - check out the EHLO blog at http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2006/06/15/427966.aspx and http://blogs.technet.com/bpuhl/archive/2006/07/06/440495.aspx

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
