Re: MP Problems at secondary site

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi Kim

when I try that, I get a WMI failure error, Description is Generic Failure..
I get the same error if I try to connect to root\cimv2 and root\default.
Looks like WMI is corrupt on that server. Is there a way to reinstall/repair
WMI on Windows 2003 Server?

Thanks

John
