WMI Repair

Hi, I would like to use a batch file to help me repairing WMI issues.  What other known commands could be added to these lines ? Should I apply this script also for Vista or Win 7 or does the salvagerepository run  similar steps ?

net stop winmgmt

c:

cd %windir%\system32\wbem

rd /S /Q repository

regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\system32\scecli.dll

regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\system32\userenv.dll

mofcomp cimwin32.mof

mofcomp cimwin32.mfl

mofcomp rsop.mof

mofcomp rsop.mfl

for /f %%s in (’dir /b /s *.dll’) do regsvr32 /s %%s

for /f %%s in (’dir /b *.mof’) do mofcomp %%s

for /f %%s in (’dir /b *.mfl’) do mofcomp %%s

mofcomp -n:root\cimv2\applications\exchange wbemcons.mof

mofcomp -n:root\cimv2\applications\exchange smtpcons.mof

mofcomp exmgmt.mof

mofcomp exwmi.mof

net start winmgmt

    The commands above are pretty much everything that I know for troubleshooting WMI.

    In Vista / Win7 there's 2 additional commands that automate some of the above manual commands:

    Winmgmt /verifyrepository

    Winmgmt /salvagerepository

    You first run the verify command and it will tell you if the database is consistent, or inconsistent.  If inconsistent, you run the salvage command and it tries to fix it.

    I suppose you could just jump right to the salvage command in your script, but it's good to know the verify command as well if you are trying to find root cause.

    You might also get some more ideas from the technet forum, as the answers forum is more consumer focused.

    I went here but to no avail. I have an OEM version of Windows 7 64 Bit.

    I went to Google and it said much of nothing regarding WMI and how to fix this glitch.

    Thanks, Donald

    What is the glitch that the WMI keep getting corrupted and what are they symptoms?

    I think I would figure out the glitch and stop whatever it is and never have to rebuild the WMI in the first place.
