Receiving WMI configuration error. SQL Server System Configuration cannot be executed due to that

Question

Hello PPl,

I am getting this error again and again.

The SQL Server System Configuration Checker cannot be executed due to WMI configuration on the machine mymachine Error:2147749896 (0x80041008).

 

I uninstall all version of Visual Studio 2005 just kept Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.  Still I am getting this error when I am running SQLEXPR.exe to install the SQL Server 2005 Express.

 

PLEASE HELP!

 

Thank you. 

Answer 1

I found this batch file and ran it and it fixed my WMI problems on SQL Server 2003.  Copy this into notepad as save as fixwmi.cmd and then from a command line run c:\fixwmi.cmd.

It takes several minutes to complete and at points it appears that it is not running but it is.  After it is complete, you see the :END statement start the SQL server installation again and you should be fixed.

 

FIXWMI.CMD
------------------------

@echo on
cd /d c:\temp
if not exist %windir%\system32\wbem goto TryInstall
cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem
net stop winmgmt
winmgmt /kill
if exist Rep_bak rd Rep_bak /s /q
rename Repository Rep_bak
for %%i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %%i
for %%i in (*.exe) do call :FixSrv %%i
for %%i in (*.mof,*.mfl) do Mofcomp %%i
net start winmgmt
goto End

:FixSrv
if /I (%1) == (wbemcntl.exe) goto SkipSrv
if /I (%1) == (wbemtest.exe) goto SkipSrv
if /I (%1) == (mofcomp.exe) goto SkipSrv
%1 /RegServer

:SkipSrv
goto End

:TryInstall
if not exist wmicore.exe goto End
wmicore /s
net start winmgmt
:End

Answer 2

I was also receiving a WMI configuration error when trying to install SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition that was distributed by Microsoft during the Ready To Launch tour.  Running the batch file above fixed my WMI configuration issue.  Thanks!

Answer 3

Many thanks for this wonderful script I must say.

My internet explorer XP SP2 would not let me go any further than logon and password authentication pages on some web sites. (like www.ewiz.com and others...)

After trying every possilbe wiht the settings under the tools menu no luck, I was about to reinstall the whole XP...until this script fixed it all...

Thank you!

 

 

Answer 4

This information was perfect.

I have been looking for the past week, trying to get SQL express to install

Thanks !!!!!!!!

Answer 5

For whatever reason, copying and pasting this script pasted in unicode rather than ascii. This made the cmd parser barf. To convert it from unicode to ascii (on Windows 200 or XP), use the "type" command redirected to a file, e.g,

type original.in.unicode.bat > ascii.copy.bat

Then run the new batch file.

(As it turns out, my problem wasn't with the WMI configuration, but that I'd told my application firewall to deny WMI run permissions.)

Answer 6

Hi,

 

i also have the wmi problem. Then i also wanted to put the script onto the server to fix the wmi. But as soon as i copy the file, it is directly deleted by f-secure, which thinks that the script is a trojan.

 

Any suggestions,

 

thx in advance.

Answer 7

Rename the file to txt, copy it, rename back to cmd.

If f-secure still catches that, just disable it and copy the cmd file as is.

 

Answer 8

I have tried this script several times, with no effect.  I have administrator privileges and although I get the same error mentioned by I Mrus, the the LocalSystem account is affected.  Beyond having admin authority and having the script (I run it, reboot, install SQL Srver Express; when fails, uninstall with Add/Remove programs) what can be done to correct this.  Below is a sample of the Application error from Computer Mangement:

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: WinMgmt
Event Category: None
Event ID: 63
Date:  6/7/2006
Time:  1:03:47 AM
User:  MY_NOTEBOOK\Owner
Computer: MY_NOTEBOOK
Description:
A provider, HiPerfCooker_v1, has been registered in the WMI namespace, Root\WMI, to use the LocalSystem account.  This account is privileged and the provider may cause a security violation if it does not correctly impersonate user requests.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

BTW - the link is dead.

Any ideas?

Answer 9

I just wanted to add to this thread to say that the script also worked for me.

 

Thanks so much for that!

Answer 10

I have just run that script and then launched the SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE again, and I still receive this error with the usual WMI configuration message:

Error:  70346 (0x112ca).

Windows XP SP2 fully updated from Microsoft Updates.

Answer 11

Thank you for this. God Bless.

Answer 12

Any idea why the script has not corrected this issue on my laptop?

Dell Lattitude D620

XP SP2 fully updated

Answer 13

Tried it.  Worked just as you said.  thanks

Answer 14

Thanks - it worked for me despite Microsoft's on line help checker saying the problem was unknown.

Answer 15

Any other suggestions? Ran this and I am still getting the errors when I try to install or uninstall SQL.

Answer 16

Hi,

ich have encountered the same error and the script has not fixed it.

BUT: As I called the script the second time, it seems to work....

 

 

Answer 17

Thanks, really the .cmd script helped me out. It took several hours for some strange reason on a pretty fast sever, but I could reinstall SQL Server and now everything works again

Answer 18

Had the same problem which has taken roughly 4 hours away from my life, just fixed it. I used the fixwmi.cmd - no result (at least not immediate, if at all). Tried services.msc and started every service that looked remotely connected to WMI, RPC and/or SQL that was not running. I cannot tell you which service I started that worked (as my OS is French, and the services do not have the same name in English - I look for the keywords).

Answer 19

My attempts to install the batch file failed. It appears in an oscillating mode on the screen no matter for how long it runs. No confirmation of succeeded installation follows. Any suggestions?

Answer 20

I think I found a fix.  I have SP1 which introduced a ton of new DCOM settings.  I granted the network service and local service accounts local launch permissions in DCOM's machine-limit's settings.

Answer 21

that's gr8 answer

Answer 22

Hi,

I solved this by uninstalling the following programs and reinstallig them in the specified order. I did not have to run the script.

1. WindowsInstaller Svensk.exe
2. dotnetfx.exe (Framework 2.0)
3. SQLEXPR_SVE.EXE (SQL Server 2005 Express)
4. msxml6.msi
5. SQLServer2005_SSMSEE.msi (Sql Server 2005 Express Management Studio Express)

Answer 29

The Script works fine on XP PRO SP2 Visual Studio 2005

1. The script takes about 2 to 3 minuites in the middle so it does not finish really quickly don't shut the command window down until after you see end!  (It doesn't work then!)
   
2. As it's next trick sql server cannot find the native windows client.  Get winnsqcli.msi ? sp from running (on Visual Studio 2005 d:\wcu\SSE\sqlexpr32.exe /x , then tell it where to expand to as it asks and "REPAIR" the native windows sql client so you don't have to reboot and spoil the installation.

Other than that small extra trick the installation was slick.

Then come the updates.

1. The first time take all the express updates.
2. Reboot.
   
3. Hotfix for visual studio 2005 will fail.
4. take all the express updates again and you will get the Visual Studio 2005 hotfix again.
5. This time it takes.
6. Reboot.

Decide if you really care to want .net V3 sp1 .net V3, Login Live and silverlight? from the custom updates.  I didn't feel the need.  Your mileage will vary.....

DONE!  (As of Feb 2008 only!)

Answer 49

THANK YOU!  This worked for me too.

I was trying to install SQL Management Studio on XP SP3.  I got some dll errors on install (xolehlp.dll and msdtcprx.dll) at first.  I copied these from an XP SP2 install that I had into c:\windows\system32 (I didn't need to regsiter them).

Then, I hit the WMI problem....I ran the fixwmi.cmd file but ran into errors (missing dll's, mofcomp not recognized...).  I had a system with a working install of SQL Management Studio, so I copied the MISSING files out of the c:\windows\wbem folder into the XP SP3 install.  After running the batch file again, it all worked!

Thanks again.  This was a pain!

Thanks man...

Answer 52

I too am receiving this error.  More specifically it is preventing the installation of new instances and interferring with reporting services.

The exact error is "Server buffers are full and data cannot be accepted" 0x80041045. 

Simply rebooting the server will temporarily fix the issue, but this is on a x64 production PolyServe machine and the PolyServe service has a dependancy on the WINMGMT (WMI) service.  So stopping the service as needed is not an option.  I did run WMIDIAG and it shows the following:

Is there a way too fix this that doesn't involve shutting down the WMI service?
 

Answer 53

The C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem>RegSvr32 -s wbemupgd.dll command will actually shutdown the WINMGMT (WMI) service as well as anything that depends on the service.

Answer 54

Thanks a lot for the script.

It worked for me. 

NB : For others :- chk the appropriate dll s and registry entry before u run the script.

Answer 55

Thanks!  This worked for a test VM I was setting up. I received the error after I had uninstalled applications and SQL to start with a clean install!
