Out of Memory Error using WMI

[Eric]

Hello everybody !
First of all, excuse me for my english, I'm French, living near Paris.

I am new to WMI, and I find reading this newsgroup very useful. Nothing so
accurate here ...

But I've got a problem. Quite a big one.

On my office computer, running under XP (P4 1,5Ghz, 256Mo, 40Go HDD), with
WMI SDK installed, it is no more possible to use WMI !
Whatever I do, using WMIC, or using the explorer in SDK, or even opening
WMI properties in MMC, I get the following error message: Error 0x80041006 -
Out of memory (when trying to use WMIC), and: Could not connect to
localhost - WMI= not enough memory (when trying to use WMI properties in
MMC).

I tried to reinstall WMISDK, and to run XP install in repair mode: no
result. It looks like WMI structure is damaged.

If someone could help ...
Thanks in advance !

Hi

You could try this (just as a precaution, you could make a backup of the files
between a. and b.) :

WMI is part of Operating System on win2k, hence there is no supported un-install
process specific to wmi. You could try the steps below to re-create the
repository (caution: use at your own risk)

a. net stop winmgmt
b. delete the e:\winnt\system32\wbem\repository directory
c. net start winmgmt
d. wmi should recreate the repository
</qoute>

If that doesn't help, try this:

Open a Command Prompt and type "winmgmt /clearadap" to clear prior WMI
/resyncperf information from the registry.

Then type "winmgmt /resyncperf" to register the system performance libraries
with WMI again

Hello,

I tried your tip, but unfortunately, it didn't work.

Perhaps could it be quicker to reinstall the full OS ...

Thank you for your quick answer.
