While trying to determine and configure some settings in SQL 2012 I ran across this error: Seems this can occur, from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956013 Open a Administrative command prompt, and run this to fix for SQL 2012: mofcomp "%programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft SQL Server\ 110 \Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof" Then restart the WMI service.
Looking to the world of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Dynamics NAV, Scribe Insight, SCCM, and other server applications.
