Recently had an issue where an entire site was not downloading domain policies. After a thorough search and different attempts to fix the issue below batch file fixed the issue:
RSOP – Invalid Name Space
RSOP – Invalid Name Space
Windows Management Instrumentation fails due to receiving an event or error concerning missing or failure to load WMI Provider, or Invalid WMI class, or WMI Invalid Namespace.
Below are some common errors indicating issues with a WMI Provider or Class:
- Failed to initialize all required WMI classes
- Win32_processor: WMI: Invalid namespace
- Win32_WMISetting: WMI: Invalid namespace
- Win32_OperatingSystem: WMI: Invalid namespace
- WBEM_E_NOT_FOUND 0x80041002
- WBEM_E_PROVIDER_FAILURE 0x80041004
- WBEM_E_INVALID_NAMESPACE 0x8004100E
- WBEM_E_INVALID_CLASS 0x80041010
- WBEM_E_PROVIDER_NOT_FOUND 0x80041011
- WBEM_E_INVALID_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION 0x80041012
- WBEM_E_PROVIDER_LOAD_FAILURE 0x80041013
Scenario 1: WMI Invalid Namespace
First we want to take any scripts or programs out of the equation by using local built in tools. The two most common tools used to check wmi functionality is the WMI console (winmgmt.msc) and Wbemtest (Windows Management Instrumentation Tester).
Ensure the Namespace in question actually exist and functional.
- Go to start-run and type in wmimgmt.msc
- Right click on Local Wmi Control (Local)and select properties
- On the general tab, if there is any failures noted on that box, that indicates a core WMI issue and most likely with the Cimv2namespace.
- Click on the Security tab and expand Root folder. This is where you will see all of the namespace listed for WMI
- Find the namespace referenced in the error message you are getting
- If you find the namespace is missing, do the following,
7. Go to start-run and type in wbemtest
8. Click on the “Connect Button”
9. In the Namespace Box type in the path to the namespace for which getting invalid namespace error for. This path would have the same look and feel of a Windows Directory, so just as you see the structure in wmimgmt.msc console on the Securitytab, so is how you will type in path
Examples:
RootCimv2
RootMscluster
RootRSOPComputer
10. Click on the “Connect” button
11. Now all of the buttons should no longer be greyed out on the main wbemtest console page. Click on the “Enum Classes” button
12. Leave “Enter Superclass Name” blank and select “Recursive” then click OK. If you don’t get any error messages then you can access the name successfully without issue using built in Windows Management Instrumentation Tester
13. To test further, let’s see if we can access some classes.
make the following into a batch file
net stop winmgmt
pause
c:
cd c:\windows\system32\wbem
rd /S /Q repository
regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\system32\scecli.dll
regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\system32\userenv.dll
pause
c:
cd c:\windows\system32\wbem

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

mofcomp -n:root\cimv2\applications\exchange wbemcons.mof
mofcomp -n:root\cimv2\applications\exchange smtpcons.mof
mofcomp exmgmt.mof
After running this re-run the GPUPDATE /force
