WMI error

GaryRumson · Aug 23, 2004

We are getting this error everytime we want to open the monitoing tab on our exchange 2003 server. This is also followed by event id's 9098 & 9102 every 5 minutes in the application log.

An error occurred during a call to Windows Management Instrumentation

I am having the same problem

The cause of this error is a corrupt install of WMI, caused by upgrading Windows Server 2003 to SP1 build 1277. To fix this issue, copy the following into notepad and save it with either a .cmd or .bat extension. Then run the script to re-install WMI:

%SYSTEMDRIVE%
CD %windir%\system32\wbem
Mofcomp.exe cimwin32.mof
Regsvr32 /s wbemupgd.dll
Regsvr32 /s wbemsvc.dll
wmiprvse /regserver

I found out that this is an active bug in Windows Server 2003 for RTM to SP1 upgrades where it screws up WMI, so as a public service, I want to pass this on.

I’m sure MS will get this straightened out before they go golden with SP1.
