RE: WMI Hell

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



If this box is going to be a production Exchange box then I highly recomend
that you roll back the driver and contact the hardware vendor for a new
driver. You do not want these types of issues on your exchange box. If there
is no new driver, then you will seriously want to consider upgrading the
hardware. Once you remove the problem driver, go ahead and re-install
exchange. This should fix any other problems that may be lurking.

Hope this helps
