Hi,

For such kind WMI error, you can find more error message in detail in system event viewer. Could you please find related error message in system Event Viewer and post here?

Also, try this: Go to services management console, (Start -> Run -> services.msc) stop Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and then restart it. And then try to change SQL Server service account in the SQL Server Configuration Manager to see whether it works.

Thanks,
Chunsong

Did you try to use the Services.msc? And have you set the group polices correctly?

Following is a topic, hope it can help.
