Re: WMI Problems

Iverson,

Thank you for your help. Interestingly, I followed your instructions
and doing the mofcomp commands fixed my other problem. Now, I don't
get the userenv errors related to the group policies. However, my
monitoring and reporting problem remains.

When I reinstalled monitoring and reporting I got a warning:
"Permissions could not be properly configured for the Fax Operators
security group. Run Setup again and choose to reinstall the
Administration component."

When I tried to reinstall the Administration component, I got the same
error as above, but setup requested a reboot to finish the install.
When I rebooted, I couldn't even open the Server Management Console.
Apparently, all the files in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small
Business Server\Administration" had the administrator user removed from
the security properties. Once I gave priviledges back to the
administrator I could open it again. I then tried running a repair
directly from the MSI file on CD3 and ended up with the same
permissions problem.

In Server Management, when I go to "Set Up Monitoring Reports and
Alerts" and click Finish, I get a red X by all the components
including: Configuring Data Store, Configuring Data Collection,
Configuring Alert Thresholds, and Configuring Reports.

I am also getting a different userenv error in the event log: 1090
"Windows couldn't log the RSoP(Resultant Set of Policies) session
status. An attempt to connect to WMI failed. No more RSoP logging will
be done for this application of Policy."

One more thing, I have Server 2003 SP1 installed, but I do NOT have
Small Business Server 2003 SP1 installed. Do you think this would
help?

Thanks.

To continue working with me in the newsgroups, please see the following:

Based on my research on the report, I am not sure that the WMI and GPO
issue are related. I suggest we focus on the first problem- WMI Filters:
"Invalid Namespace" issue. Regarding the other problem, please submit a new
post for peer information.

Based on my experience, please help me check and perform the following
information and steps:

I. Please first ensure that the Windows Management Instrumentation
service is running. To check it:

1. Run 'Services.msc' (without the quotation marks) on the command prompt
on the SBS Server.
2. Locate the Windows Management Instrumentation service, and make sure
it is Started.

II. If the WMI service is running, this problem occurred because the WMI
Repository was rebuilt and some components for monitoring and reporting
feature was not registered. To fix this issue, you can reinstall the
monitoring components on the SBS server:

1. Open Add/Remove Programs in ''Control Panel''. Select ''Windows Small
Business Server 2003'' and click ''Change/Remove'' button.

2. The SBS 2003 setup wizard will initiate. In the wizard, click ''Next''
button-->In components selection window, select ''Maintenance'' for
''Server Tools'' and then select ''Reinstall'' for ''Monitoring''.

3. Click ''Next'' to continue the installation.

4. If you have installed the SBS 2003 SP1, you will receive the following
message after you insert SBS Disc 3 to reinstall Monitoring component:

"The drive contains a disc for Windows Small Business Server 2003 with no
service packs. When the prompt appears, insert a disc for Windows Small
Business Server 2003 with Service Pack 1."

Since Disc 3 for SBS SP1 doesn't include the Monitoring part, the
installation cannot proceed.

We'll then use the steps below to work around this problem:

a. Start a cmd prompt and change directory to the SP1 download folder (or
the SBS03_SP1 folder on PKG_CD2).
b. Type "SBS2003-KB885918-SP1-X86-ENU.EXE /x" (with no quotation marks) and
press Enter.
c. Specifying a path for the extracted files (such as C:\SBSSP1)
d. Run the SBS Integrated setup, and when the setup program prompts for the
CD3, point it to the folder created above.

5. Please re-apply the Windows 2003 SP1 and SBS 2003 Sp1 again since those
two update need to be installed after reinstalling the monitoring component.

6. If the issue persists after you reinstall the two updates, please run
the following commands to re-register the providers and dll files:

C:
CD\Windows\System32\wbem
for /f %s in ('dir /b *.mof') do mofcomp %s
for /f %s in ('dir /b *.mfl') do mofcomp %s
for /f %s in ('dir /b *.dll') do regsvr32 /s %s

I appreciate your time and cooperation. If anything is unclear, please feel
free to let me know. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
