Error launching SQL Server configuration manager

Question

I have SQL 2008 R2. When I launch SQL Server Configuration manager, I hit the following error:

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

I am not a SQL expert.  so please explain the details to me how to fix it.  THanks!!!!

Hi Yao,

 Try this  link http://msmvps.com/blogs/martinpoon/archive/2009/11/27/sql-server-configuration-manager-cannot-connect-to-wmi-provider-invalid-class-0x80041010.aspx

It looks like you need to run the configuration manager setup again..HTH
