November 1, 2012 Windows Management Instrumentation has received a few mentions around 404TS in recent months. This morning, I got a closer look at it again. I received what I like to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/959077 call a "pile of symptoms" and get to try to find the root cause. The symptom that resulted in receiving the initial call was that shutdowns were taking about 10-15 minutes. The first technician to respond also noted that when looking at the Computer properties, it would return ‘not available' for the "Processor:" and "Installed memory (RAM):" fields. The https://www.404techsupport.com/2012/11/wmi-commands-result-in-the-specified-module-could-not-be-found/ computer was set to have a printer installed through the AD security group-based network printer install shutdown script I wrote. Kn0wing this, the technician included me in the troubleshooting process to see if there was something wrong with the script or some other configuration. Running the printer install script manually, an error message was returned. It gave a line number in the script and an error message of "The specified module could not be found". Looking at the script, it was where a WMI method was being invoked to install the driver. To test WMI functionality further, I ran in the command prompt: wmic.exe computersystem get model. It returned the same error about the module could not be found. The processor and Installed Memory fields were returning ‘not available'. Seemingly narrowing the problem down to WMI not functioning correctly, I checked the computer's services to ensure that the Windows Management Instrumentation service was Started and set to automatic. After confirming that it was started, I tried restarting the service but ran into the same results wh

Karrie.TX, Oct 26, 2006 #31 Karrie.TX Thread Starter Joined: Oct 5, 2005 Messages: 127 I thought it might be helpful if I ran SILENT RUNNERS, so I tried to start it and got this message: This script requires WINDOWS cannot start wmi MANAGEMENT INSTRUMENTATION to run. Click on Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services, and start the "WINDOWS MANAGEMENT INSTRUMENTATION" service. So, I followed those steps to start it and got this message: Could not start the windows management instrumentation service on local computer. Error 126: The specified module could not be found. I have no idea what that means, but I'm guessing it's really bad, right?

Let me know how that goes please.

svchost.exe crash. I don't use WMI for anything but I think the failing service might try to use it and it fails because WMI is failing too. I tried a lot of things to reinstall WMI but my problem is after deleting the repository WMI doesn't start at all and I can't compile any mof/mfl files because they can't create namespaces: C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem>mofcomp cimwin32.mof Microsoft (R) 32-bit MOF Compiler Version 5.1.2600.2180 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp. 1997-2001.
