I checked services -WMi - started - automatic
Ran wmimgmt.msc Console opens.
Right click WMi Control - Properties
Message -Red Cross WMI error features not available. Upgrade WMI to a newer
build. OK
WMI Control(Local) Properties/General
Failed to connect to <local computer>
because "Error code: 0x8004100A"
Did not try Backup/Restore.
Uninstalled recommened programs.
Tried installation of SQL Server2005 Standard Edition first.
CC gives same WMI error.
CP/Admin Tools/Computer Management/Services and Applications/WMi
Control/Properties
Same error message - Failed to connect to <local computer>
Any suggestions for a "In place install of WMI"
Where is this snap-in available?
How can I correct this error code?
Thanks for your help
