Stuck on Applying Computer Settings

(imported topic written by tammyandlee91)

We use BigFix client version 7.2.1.357. We have noticed some XP SP2 PC’s are getting stuck at the applying computer setting screen.

If we use the windows debug login mode we can see a delay in the wmi calls. You can see a 12 min delay in the log below. Removing the BigFix client removes the delay. Any ideas anybody?

Thanks,

Lee

Hey Lee,

BigFix definitely queries WMI (and RSOP if you are using SCM) and so if WMI is having some sort of issue, it might be trggered by the BigFix agent, but I have never heard of this myself.

We can probably write a simple script that would repeatedly run basic WMI queries and see if it triggers the same behavior, which would indicate that something about your WMI is having issues, but it might be best to coordinate with our support department and see if they can assist.

It looks to be some interaction with the Trend Personal Firewall version 7. Removing the firewall service stops the problem occuring.
