JSI Tip 9771. How do I resolve Windows Management Instrumentation errors due to a corrupted WMI Repository?

If WMI applications/scripts error, or no longer function, you may have a corrupted WMI repository. I have scripted WMIRepository.bat to correct the corruption.

The syntax for using WMIRepository.bat is:

WMIRepository

WMIRepository.bat contains:

@echo offsetlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSIONset key=HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetServicesset file="%TEMP%WMIRepository_%RANDOM%.tmp"if exist %file% del /q %file%for /f "Tokens=*" %%a in ('reg query %key%^|find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"') do ( set OK=N set svc="%%a" call :quiet !svc!>nul 2>&1 if "!OK!"
