WBEM_E_CRITICAL_ERROR DFS replication cannot access the local WMI repository

Asked by MultiTrends in Windows 2003 Server

Tags: Microsoft, Server 2003 R2, DFS replication issue

I have a set up DFS replication between a Server 2003 R2 SP2 (ServerT) and a Storage Server 2003 R2 SP2 (ServerV). ServerT is reporting the following error:

Description: Due to the following error, the DFS Replication reporting mechanism cannot access the WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) namespace to retrieve certain reporting information. Error ID: 0x8004100a.  
  Last occurred: Monday, March 17, 2008 at 2:28:25 PM (GMT2:00)

Looking up error returns:
WBEM_E_CRITICAL_ERROR
2147749898
0x8004100A
 Internal, critical, and unexpected error occurred. Report the error to Microsoft Technical Support.

The DFS Replication Health Report shows the following error on ServerT:

 Cannot access the local WMI repository.  
  Affected replicated folders: All replicated folders on this server.
  Description: Due to the following error, the DFS Replication reporting mechanism cannot access the WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) namespace to retrieve certain reporting information. Error ID: 0x8004100a.

I have tried the following to fix the WMI:
rundll32 wbemupgd, RepairWMISetup  - didn't help

Also tried this:
- From the command prompt run "net stop winmgmt".
- Open Windows Explorer, browse to the %systemroot%\system32\wbem directory and move or delete the Repository directory.
- From the command prompt run "net start winmgmt".
- From the command prompt change to the %windir%\system32\wbem directory (at the command prompt input "cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem")
- At the command prompt input "for %i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %i"
- After the previous command completes input "for %i in (*.exe) do RegSvr32 -s %i"
- After registration completes restart the system.
Which also didn't help.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
