Windows Management Instrumentation on SBS 2003

Asked by jts2020 in SBS Small Business Server, Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)

Tags: WMI not found

Hi everyone,
 i managed several sbs 2003 for my clients.  After a power failure one of my servers that runs SBS 2003 keeps logging many errors on the event viewer due to WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) not being able to connect . Example of erros are:
 1. Windows couldn't log the RSoP (Resultant Set of Policies) session. An attempt to connect to WMI failed.
 2. The MAD Monitoring thread was unable to connect to WMI, error '0x80041002'.
 3. Windows cannot perform filter check for Group Policy object CN={5E...}, CN=Policies, etc.
A few components don't work, SBS Windows Backups (using NTBackup), and Monitoring and Reporting stop working too.

Everything else seems to work on my server, exchange, Blackberry Professional, etc.
I always find some type of solution online but after doing research for many days i can't find a convincing resolutino.
Some mentioned to delete C:\Windows\System32\Wbem\Repository folder but according to Microsoft that should be my last resort.  I don't want to do anything drastic that will break my clients server.

Going to my services.msc and finding Windows Management Instrumentation i see the service started, but doing a right click, going to properties, dependencies, i get the error: WMI: Not found.

thanks in advance.
