Unresolveable WMI Error Damaging My Network

I'm trying to resolve the following error:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSExchangeSA
Event Category: Monitoring
Event ID: 9097
Description:
The MAD Monitoring thread was unable to connect to WMI, error '0x8004100e'.

I found the following KB articles with instructions on how to resolve this
problem, but neither is working for me.

The first (
http://www.microsoft.com/products/e...xchange&ProdVer=6.0.6249.0&FileVer=6.0.6249.0
) simply instructs me to reinstall Exchange. However, when I attempt to do
so, the installation hangs during the portion where it claims it creating the
registry entries for the SMTP service. The installation is not frozen; the
CPU time gradually increases, adding about a second every 5 or 6 seconds.
However, for obvious reasons, it's not possible for me to keep the email
server down for hours and hours on the *hope* that the installer will somehow
snap out of it.

The second fix (
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;288590 ) sounds much
better, quicker and easier, but it flat doesn't want to work. After typing
the command listed (%systemroot%\system32\wbem\mofcomp.exe
cd-rom:\setup\i386\exchange\exwmi.mof) I get the following error:

Parsing MOF file: D:\setup\setup\1386\exchange\exwmi.mof
MOF file has been successfully parsed

An error occured while opening the namespace for object 1 defined on lines
14 - 17:
Error Number: 0x8004100e, Facility: WMI, Description: Invalid namespace
Compiler returned error 0x8004100e

I'm at a loss for what to do. There's no information I can find on how to
resolve this issue. The issue seems small and cosmetic, but it's having
other side effects I'm concerned about.

The system in question is a Windows 2000 Server with Service Pack 4 and all
the latest hot fixes. Exchange is Exchange 2000 with SP3 and also has the
latest hot fixes. The serer is also acting as an Active Directory domain
controller.

Any ideas on how I can reregister the namespace in WMI without hours of
downtime (which seems unnecessary)?

Thanks...
