WMI Respository corruption on Windows Server 2008 R2





Log Name:      System
Source:        Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy
Date:          6/25/2014 10:57:20 PM
Event ID:      1065
Task Category: None
Level:         Error
Keywords:     
User:         Domain\Act
Computer:     server name
Description: The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows could not evaluate the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) filter for the Group Policy object cn={72E1E5D2-987F-42D3-B41C-E2E557648747},cn=policies,cn=system,DC=xxxxxx,DC=xxxx,DC=com. This could be caused by RSOP being disabled  or Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service being disabled, stopped, or other WMI errors. Make sure the WMI service is started and the startup type is set to automatic. New Group Policy objects or settings will not process until this event has been resolved.


This error message usually indicates that the WMI repository is corrupted, but sometimes may also indicate that some other system files are corrupted.

If you have any previous backup, I would highly suggest that you try restoring to that backup to see if the problem remains.

Or, would you please try the following steps to see if they can be of any help?

1. Disable and stop the WMI service.
     sc config winmgmt start= disabled
     net stop winmgmt

2. Run the following commands.
     Winmgmt /salvagerepository %windir%\System32\wbem      (I noticed that you have run this command, but I would suggest that you try it again)
     Winmgmt /resetrepository %windir%\System32\wbem

4. Re-enable the WMI service and then reboot the server to see how it goes.
     sc config winmgmt start= auto

If the problem remains, then try the following steps to rebuild the repository:

1. Disable and stop the WMI service.
     sc config winmgmt start= disabled     (note that there is a blank between '=' and 'disabled')
     net stop winmgmt

2. Rename the repository folder (located at %windir%\System32\wbem\repository) to repository.old.

3. Re-enable the WMI service.
     sc config winmgmt start= auto

4. Reboot the server to see if the problem remains.

If the above steps cannot help, you may also need to check if some disk sectors or system files are corrupted. You may try "chkdsk" and "sfc /scannow" commands to see if they can help. Otherwise, you may need to reinstall the whole server.

  Quick Guide to VCF Automation for VCD Administrators VMware Cloud Foundation 9 (VCF 9) has been  released  and with it comes brand new Cloud Management Platform –  VCF Automation (VCFA)  which supercedes both Aria Automation and VMware Cloud Director (VCD).

The provider part of VCFA called Tenenat Manager is based on VCD code and the UI and APIs will be familiar to VCD admins, while the tenant part inherist a lot from Aria Automation and especially for VCD end-users will look brand new. Deployment and Architecture VCFA is generaly deployed from VCF Operations Fleet Management (former Aria Suite LCM embeded in VCF Ops. Fleet Management...
  Issue with Aria Automation Custom form Multi Value Picker and Data Grid https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?articleNumber=345960 Products VMware Aria Suite Issue/Introduction Symptoms: Getting  error " Expected Type String but was Object ", w hen trying to use Complex Types in MultiValue Picker on the Aria for Automation Custom Form. Environment VMware vRealize Automation 8.x Cause This issue has been identified where the problem appears when a single column Multi Value Picker or Data Grid is used. Resolution This is a known issue. There is a workaround.  Workaround: As a workaround, try adding one empty column in the Multivalue picker without filling the options. So we can add one more column without filling the value which will be hidden(there is a button in the designer page that will hide the column). This way the end user will receive the same view.
