Resourcefulness is the great divider between excellence and mediocrity.

The following can be done through a batch file or executed manually from the command line:

net stop winmgmt
c:
cd %systemroot%\system32\wbem
rd /S /Q repository

regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\system32\scecli.dll
regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\system32\userenv.dll

mofcomp cimwin32.mof
mofcomp cimwin32.mfl
mofcomp rsop.mof
mofcomp rsop.mfl
for /f %%s in ('dir /b /s *.dll') do regsvr32 /s %%s
for /f %%s in ('dir /b *.mof') do mofcomp %%s
for /f %%s in ('dir /b *.mfl') do mofcomp %%s
echo DONE reboot
pause

Here's a link to a MSDN Library discussion of the topic:

Anyone see pro's or con's of this approach vs. the script posted?

I ran the above and after entering "mofcomp cimwin32.mof script" received the following message
MOF file has been successfully parsed
Storing Data in the Repository
An error occured while opening the namespace for object 1 defined on lines 8 -11:
Error Number 0x8007042c, Facility: Win 32
Description: The dependency service or group failed to start
Compiler returned error 0x8007042c
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

similar as above except:

An error occurred while opening the namespace for object 1 defined on lines 8 -
11:
0X80041002 Class, instance, or property '' was not found.
Compiler returned error 0x80041002

i'll probably have to do a repair install then

Ran this on a PC experiencing a problem...

It fixed my original issue, however it unmapped all network printers...
Reboot = Same Problem

I had the same issue and looked everywhere for a resolution. Ive found two issues. The event log service is not running. Once turned on WMI runs. If event log wont run a repair or reinstall is necessary. If event log is running the fix is rather simple. First be sure the windows management service is stopped. Open the command prompt and navigate to %systemroot%\system32\wbem\repository. Once in this folder del *.* and del FS. After a reboot the windows management is forced to create a new database clearing out the error.

I get tons of errors like this while running mofcomp on any mof/mfl.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem>mofcomp wmitimep.mfl

Error Number: 0x80070005, Facility: Win32
Description: Access is denied.

Any ideas?

I followed the steps given in Microsoft's link to reinstall WMI, i.e. delete the repository and then restart the Winmgmt service. But it is not reproducing all the classes. All the performance related classes are missing. i.e. which starts with win32_perf.....

Could somebody help me out. These classes where present in the original repository, as I had saved a dummy copy of the old repository in the other drive

Thanks!!!
