Hi there

I am trying to run a WMI check using winmgmt /verifyrepository. I get the following:

WMI repository verification failed
Error code: 0x80041003
Facility: WMI
Description: Access denied

Anyone know what could be the cause? The prompt is elevated and access is granted in Computer Management -> WMI Control -> Security

Windows 10 Security
Windows 10 Security

    Hi,
    1.The prompt is elevated and access is granted in Computer Management -> WMI Control -> Security

    Are you referring to the root security as below?

    2.Please also compare the permission of the folder Repository under wbem between working and non-working machines.

    3.What if you run this command with admin account instead of account with privileged rights?
