Event ID 1008 The Open Procedure for service "BITS" in DLL "C:\Windows\System32\bitsperf.dll" failed. Performance data for this service will not be available. The first four bytes (DWORD) of the Data section contains the error code.

Question

I keep getting the above error on all my SQL 2012 deployments (standard and enterprise) on all Windows Server 2012 Standard machines. I have already tried the following commands in administrator mode to resolve without success:
lodctr bitsperf.dll
lodctr /R
Any other suggestions?

Hi Diane Sithoo,
You post the same question 2 times. Please avoid this practice on Forum, I 
have merged the same thread. Thanks for your understanding.
According to your description, we need to verify when the error occurs, and if when the error happen, your SQL Server does not work, right ? If yes, we need to you help us to collect the detailed error log in SQL Server management Studio (SSMS). Please refer
to the following steps for collecting the error log.
In SSMS, expand Management, and SQL Server Logs, then
right-click a log and click View SQL Server Log.
If the SQL Server can run well, there are some error on Windows Server service, I recommend you post the question on the Windows Server General Forum(http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/home?forum=winservergen
) , It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
In addition, about Event ID 1008, you may need to reload the
 performance library when it is not properly initialized during installation. Then you can use Windows Reliability and Performance Monitor to verify that performance counters are properly collected and displayed in a Performance Monitor graph. For
more information, you can review the following article.
