  • Hi everyone,

    Do not bother about this post now. i resolved it by my self. It was some problem with the .dll files. so now it is all right.

  • For future reference, these are the steps required:

    The article above is written very frankly and is by the scripting guys. I was going to write my steps but I think that's not a good idea because your situation might be slightly different to mine.

    Generally speaking it might require some combination of registering DLL files, EXE files, Repairing the WMI Repository and running MofComp command , but it depends on your windows server version amongst other things. The article lays it out well.

    This issue happened to me when I tried to run SQL Server Configuration Manager. It just quits with the error about no permission to WMI or WMI not initializing.

    It also prevents you from being able to update SQL server with hotfixes because they also try to connect to WMI to check you have the appropriate version installed.
