Windows Management Instrumentation Service FIG 2 For fixing Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service, please follow these step by step guide to resolve it properly.
Stop All Related Services
First stop all DocuWare services, as they might cause disruptions during the repair操作。
Access Command Prompt
Now to open command promptPress Win + R and type cmd in run box Make sure to run it as an administrator for elevated access.WMI Repair (ad)
Stop WMI Service
Execute the command:
bashnet stop winmgmt
This instructs the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service to pause.
4. Rename Repository Folder
Open your Windows Explorer and browse to C:\windows\system32\wbem Change the name of your “Repository” folder to e.g. Repository_old This is important as this will ensure that Windows, on restart of the WMI service, сreate repository again.
5. Restart WMI Service
Once renamed, restart the WMI service by typing:
bashnet start winmgmt
Restart DocuWare Services
Since we are dealing with IIS, it is recommended to restart application pools that were stopped and recycled during the installation.
Not only are these steps a fix for possible WMI control corruption, they also serve as step to get the functionality of that most important service back and running without requiring something drastic like downtime rebooting or an OS reinstallation.
To troubleshoot further, try checking the repository for consistency via:
bashwinmgmt /verifyrepository
If it does denote inconsistency more commands such as winmgmt /salvagerepository or winmgmt /resetrepository can be used to try and fix them before going for something drastic like an OS repair/reinstall.
