Troubleshooting tools

Following are the troubleshooting tools available for use:

• Windows Management Instrumentation Tester (wbemtest.exe)
  • The wbemtest.exe gives you the ability to query WMI namespaces on local or remote servers.
  • Connecting to a namespace locally indicates that it is properly registered and accessible via the WMI service. By connecting to a remote server additionally, it also indicates that WMI connectivity between the two machines is working.
• WMI Service Control Utility
  • This tool configures and controls the WMI service, allowing namespace permissions to be modified.
  • To open this tool, in the command prompt type the following:

              wmimgmt.msc

• • Then perform the following steps:
    1. Right-click on WMI Control (Local)
    2. Select Properties
    3. Click on the Security tab and then select Root
    4. Click on the security button to check the permissions
