The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

WMI problem

Asked by CrazyOne in Windows XP Operating System

Tags: wmi, error

I got a problem that I have researched quite a bit on the web and found many others with the same problem but no fix has been found.

When I open System Information it says

"Can't Collect Information
Cannot access the Windows Management Instrumentation software. Windows Management files may be moved or missing."

and I believe this issues also has to do with the following after running the network diagnostic which could be why my network doesn't work, peer to peer one XP machine one Win2000 machine. Neither can see each other.
 
===================
- Internet Explorer Web Proxy WMI Error FAILED
  Unable to connect to WMI namespace 'netdiagnostics'  
Computer Information
- Computer System WMI Error FAILED
  Unable to connect to WMI namespace 'win32_computersystem'  
- Operating System WMI Error FAILED
  Unable to connect to WMI namespace 'win32_operatingsystem'  
- Version WMI Error FAILED
  Unable to connect to WMI namespace 'win32_operatingsystem'  
Modems and Network Adapters
- Modems WMI Error FAILED
  Unable to connect to WMI namespace 'win32_potsmodem'  
- Network Adapters WMI Error FAILED
  Unable to connect to WMI namespace 'win32_networkadapterconfiguration'  
- Network Clients WMI Error FAILED
  Unable to connect to WMI namespace 'win32_networkclient'  
===================

Now before anybody suggests to make sure WMI service is running don't because it is running.

In the event viewer after running the System Information I get a DCOM error
 
===================
Event ID: 10000
NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE

"Unable to start a DCOM Server: {73E709EA-5D93-4B2E-BBB0-99B7938DA9E4}. The error:
"Access is denied. "

Happened while starting this command:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\wbem\wmiprvse.exe -Embedding"

===================

Suggesting a permission problem on the C:\WINDOWS\System32\wbem\ folder or the wmiprvse.exe file

Have played around with the SYSTEM account permissions.

Added NETWORK SERVICES as one of the owners of this folder which doesn't bring up the "Can't Collect Information" error. However during the "Refreshing System Information" nothing happens. Same thing if I add my profile to the ownership.

I have replaced the wmiprvse.exe file

Can run wmiprvse.exe  -Embedding using start > run so the file seems to be ok. But even manually running it doesn't help because System Information wants to run it separately

System Restore didn't help

Reinstall of SP1a no help

SFC /scannow no help

I suspect doing a Repair install probably would fix this so please don't suggest doing it because I am looking to remedy without doing this.

No syware or viruses. Have checked.
