Hello everyone,

I am encountering issues with WMI. does anyone knows how to re-install WMI
on Windows XP ?

Cheers,
 
Hello Newbie,

It is Windows XP SP1 machine, the problems is the following:
when I open the properties windows of the WMI control the general tab
reports "failed to connect to \\MachineName because "WMI: Not found"

Thanks for your help
 
NA,

This is what I think you have wrong:

START | RUN | Type 'mmc' (without quotes) & press ENTER

Is the WMI CONTROL already added? If so, remove it because it's possible been
added connected to a remote computer

You aren't connecting to another machine via the network, are you? This is what
your last post suggests.

So, if you right-click MY COMPUTER | MANAGE & expand SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS

Now, right-click WMI CONTROL | PROPERTIES it should try to connect to the local
machine rather than a networked machine

Please post back
 
Have you "played" with WMI before?

No thank-you. It looks like a mess.

Curt,

Was that to me?

I use WMI in coding to purge print queues or gather other info, set printers...
What about you?
 
NA,

Check to see if WMI service is running on the remote machine.
 
Newbie,

I've never even heard about it until this thread. I had to go to the link
you provided just to find out what it was!!

Curt,

WOW!!

Coding in WMI is simple & powerful and you can use it in scripting as well as
proper coding. I use it a lot
 
Well Newbie,

I've got the link you supplied, so I guess I'll have to look into it.

Thanks!

Hello,

I tried to re-register WMI using the Winmgmgt.exe command. Since I did that
the WMI control properties reports a connectrion failure to WMI controller
becquse "interface: class not registered". I suppose I have to register
something but what ?

On the other there is no clear procedure on how to reinstall WMI.

thanks for your help !
