Answer 1

I had the same error and it the proposed solution fixed the problem.

It was hard to find the executable so I realize that mofcomp was not inside the suggested folder. you should  search for mofcomp in all the conputer.

Answer 3

Hi sql393,

Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permission or the server is unreachable. Note that you can only manage SQL Server 2005 servers with SQL Server Configuration Manager. Invalid class [0x80041010].

The solution is to go to a command prompt and then run mofcomp.
 C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared>mofcomp "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"

Answer 5

Hi sql393,

Follow these steps to display hidden files and folders.

1. Open Folder Options by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Folder Options.
2. Click the View tab.
3. Under Advanced settings, click Show hidden files and folders, and then click OK.

You need to find sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\ or C:\Program Files(X86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\. Have you found it? Then you could run the command.

Thanks,
Maggie

mofcomp "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"

Answer 8

Thank you !

I'm on Windows 2008 R2 64 bits.

I first find the file "sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof" in the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared", i then execute then command and it DID'NT work !!!

Then after a global search on the explorer, i finally found that i've this file in 2 folders :

- "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared"

- "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Shared"

Obviously, cause I have SQL Server 2008 r2 and SQL Server 2012 too :-)

Thanks

Thanks to this article I was able to fix my issue however it took me some extra time cause I had to look for files and stuff like that so I want to ssummarize what I did for my SQL 2008 R2 

-Open CMD run as Administrator

-navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared>

- RUN mofcomp "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"

hope it helps

Answer 10

I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise and SQL 2012 Eval.

This solution worked for me:

I found mofcomp way over here:

C:\Windows\winsxs\wow64_microsoft-windows-wmi-core_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.17514_none_21ceb2d66a98ec2f

I found .mof here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof

So the following command solved this for me:

C:\Windows\winsxs\wow64_microsoft-windows-wmi-core_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.17514_none_21ceb2d66a98ec2f\mofcomp.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"

good luck.
