WMI corrupted on Windows 2003 Server

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



Hi all,

I have expirienced strange behaviour with WMI, and don't know what to
do else. The server is Windows 2003 Standard Edition with SP1, and
running MS SQL 2000 server.

Suddenly, we noticed lots of errors in event log "The server
{73E709EA-5D93-4B2E-BBB0-99B7938DA9E4} did not register with DCOM
within the required timeout." which I tracked down to "Microsoft WMI
Provider Subsystem Host" in the registry.

When I connect to the machine via Computer Management it says that it
fails to initialise all WMI classes:

The text reads:

Failed to initialise all required WMI classes:

Win32_Processors: Windows: Server execution failed
Win32_WMISetting: Successful
Security information: Successful
Win32_OperatingSystem: Windows: Server execution failed

I followed the rebuild procedure from
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/wmifaq.mspx,
and everything went correctly except the last step:

"for %i in (*.exe) do %i /RegServer"

with error "File '/RegServer' not found!" in mofcomp.log file.

Can anyone help me fix this WMI?
