  Hi All,

  I need help from SQL masters across globe. I want to re-register WMI Namespace for SQL Server 2005 Default Instance. Please let me know how to do it.

  I tried below things.

  Tried to register MOF file -> C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Binn\Sqlwep-xp.mof

  This step was succesfull.

  Then I tried to register DLL file -> C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\COM\sqlwep.dll

  This step is failing with below errors.

  C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\COM\sqlwep.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entrypoint was not found. This file cannot be registed.

  Please let me know if I am doing it wrong or there is some other way to do.

  Regards

  GURSETHI

  Hi:

  I think that WMI service is failing with this re-registering process. Follow this instructions to verify if WMI is correct:

  1. Stop the "Windows Management Instrumentation" service.

  2. Rename the %WinDir%\System32\Wbem\Repository folder to ”Oldrepository”.

  3. Restart the “Windows Management Instrumentation service”.

  4. Verify that the %WinDir%\System32\Wbem\Repository folder has been recreated.
