WMI rebuild script
Hi all, Got a bunch of machines that won't install the CM client so I want to rebuild WMI on them. Am trying to put together a script that reads machines from a text file and rebuilds said flakey component, but having some issues.. When the WMI service stops on the remote machine, the service starts up automatically even though all the child services have been stopped (ccmexec / Windows Firewall etc). Any pointers as to what I doing wrong? ta.

You can remotely work with the WMI service while it's shutdown by using the "sc.exe" utility built into Windows. I believe (not verified) that this uses DCOM / RPC instead of WMI, so you don't have to rely on having the Win32_Service class available to manipulate services (akin to driving a broken car to the dealership to get it fixed).
