Has anyone written a fixlet to repair WMI?
(imported comment written by milhouse91)
We use the following, which is basically a batch file distributed and run using TEM. Its quick to run but can take a while for all the properties to update depending on the evaluation cycle. Its also important to note that this script wont restart services that depend on WMI. I’ve been meaning to add this piece but just havn’t had time.
Also i have removed some extra “house keeping” code from the below but it still should work.
delete wmifix.bat
delete __createfile
createfile until
end
@ECHO OFF
if not exist “c:\temp” md “c:\temp”
cd /d c:\temp
if not exist c:\windows\system32\wbem goto TryInstall
cd /d c:\windows\system32\wbem
net stop winmgmt /y
winmgmt /kill
if exist Rep_bak rd Rep_bak /s /q
rename Repository Rep_bak
for %%i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %%i
for %%i in (*.exe) do call :FixSrv %%i
for %%i in (.mof,.mfl) do Mofcomp %%i
net start winmgmt
goto End
:FixSrv
if /I (%1) == (wbemcntl.exe) goto SkipSrv
if /I (%1) == (wbemtest.exe) goto SkipSrv
if /I (%1) == (mofcomp.exe) goto SkipSrv
%1 /RegServer
:SkipSrv
goto End
:TryInstall
if not exist wmicore.exe goto End
wmicore /s
net start winmgmt
:End
end
move __createfile wmifix.bat
waithidden wmifix.bat

This is great. Thank you. Have you come up with any relevance to determine whether or not wmi is broken?

We check for wmi
“exists wmi”
and also run a wmi query to see if it works. On this occassion we use the domain check
“not exists string values of selects “Domain from Win32_ComputerSystem” of wmi”
Seems to work well for us.

Based on this discussion, i’ve combined it all into a downloadable fixlet.

Here is the relevance for checking for broken WMI. "not exists wmi | true’
