WMI fejl ved opstart

As per Microsoft: "The Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) information for this application of Group Policy could not be processed. Even though Group Policy might have been successfully applied, the RSoP diagnostic information is not available". See MSW2KDB for details on this problem.

From a newsgroup post, from a Microsoft Engineer: "It could be that there is a problem with WMI on this machine.  You can try recreating some of the WMI files using the steps below:
1 Stop the Windows Management Instrumentation service.
2 Go to the %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\Repository folder.
3. Delete all of the files that are in the %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\Repository folder.
4 Restart the computer. The files that were deleted are recreated when the computer restarts.
The Windows Management Instrumentation service will start automatically when you restart the computer".

In addition, "Error messages for RSoP" might be of some help. See the link below. "Windows Management Instrumentation FAQ" provides information on WMI.

In one case this happed on a Windows XP SP2 computer after it was added to a Windows 2003 domain and the computer was restarted twice (once as part of the procedure for adding the computer to the domain and an extra one). No Windows 2003 computers configured the same way had this problem. Other symptoms: Alternate-clicking "My Network Places" resulted in an empty dialog box. Starting NTBACKUP resulted in an extra dialog box with the message "The Backup Utility cannot connect to the Removable Storage service". Starting Norton Ghost 2003 resulted in a dialog box with the message "Couldn't contact Ghost Start Agent. (0x80070005)". When I tried to install the Microsoft Windows XP SP2 Support Tools, I got a dialog box with the message "Microsoft Installer failed".

The Event ID appeared on a domain controller running Windows 2003 and the computer named in the description was a workstation running Windows XP SP2. This appeared after Group Policy changes on the domain controller were made and after the workstation was restarted twice (once to pick up the change in Group Policy and again to be affected by it at Windows startup).

The relevant part of the Default Domain Policy that caused this is shown in condensed form below:

Console Root
  {Group Policy}
    Computer Configuration
      Software Settings
        Windows Settings
          Scripts (Startup/Shutdown)
          Security Settings
            Account Policies
            Local Policies
              Audit Policy
                User Rights Assignment
                  Impersonate a client after authentication <MyGroup>.

Resolution: Change the above policy setting for Impersonate a client after authentication to: Administrators, <MyGroup>, SERVICE.

Restart the workstation twice (once to pick up the change in Group Policy and again to be affected by it at Windows startup).

I use this whenever I have this error and it works better than deleting and refreshing the repository:
  cd /d %windir%\system32.
  regsvr32 /n /I userenv.dll.
  cd wbem.
  mofcomp scersop.mof.
  gpupdate /force
