Windows 2000::WMI problems - UPDATED
I have a problem for many of our machines. WinMgmt.exe consumes all CPU.
- MS article 225154 refers to an update to Windows Management Instrumentation 1.10 that fixes a similiar problem.
- MS article Q298130 is no longer available on Microsoft's support site, but it recommended stopping the service(s) and deleting all files under %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\Repository then restarting the service. - I have had *some* success with this, but does not fix all issues.
- Articles also refer to a fix: Q263119.exe that I can't seem to find.
- There is a download for the WMI Core at http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/wmint4/1.5/NT4/EN-US/wmint4.EXE (it states that WMI core is already included in Win2K.)
I believe SP3 people don't have this problem. But there doesn't seem to be a release of the updated WMI that is included in SP3. And SP3 pulls some BS on us: autoupdate client enabled by default, Outlook Express, "set program access and defaults" in start menu. We don't want all that crap and don't want to spend a month creating an automated installation that will install SP3 then undo all the BS.
