    I seems that the namespace he is trying to connect is missing but in this
    case root\cimv2
    this can be fixed by compiling mof
    run
    mofcomp %windir%\system32\wbem\cimwin32.mof

    If this problem persists then we need to recover the whole repository

    Net stop winmgmt
    ren %windir%\system32\wbem\Repository %windir%\system32\wbem\Repository.old
    Net start winmgmt

    this will recover the data in the autorecover. However user will have to
    restore rest of the data himself.
