This rule generates alerts when the WMI Probe module experiences a runtime failure.
The WMI Probe module experienced an execution failure.
The WMI Probe module encountered an unexpected runtime error. This error could happen while processing a data item or an asynchronous operation.
If the WMI failure is occurring on a computer running Windows Server 2008, it may be due to a known issue with WMI described in Knowledge Base article 958807 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=133791).
More details of what caused this issue can be found by examining the associated event. The following link will display all events indicating a possible problem with the WMI Probe module:

Review the details provided in Knowledge Base article 958807 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=133791). If the update is applicable, apply it to this computer.
Some common issues with WMI can be resolved by performing the following steps:
Apply the hotfix from Knowledge Base article 933061, "A hotfix is available that improves the stability of the Windows Management Instrumentation repository in Windows Server 2003" (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=180727).
Modify the WMI buffer thresholds in the registry to increase the number of objects that WMI can hold. Change the value for "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WBEM\CIMOM\Low Threshold On Events (B)" to 35000000 and change the value for ”HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WBEM\CIMOM\High Threshold On Events (B)" to 70000000.
Apply the hotfix from Knowledge Base article 955360, "WSH binaries are overwritten by Windows File Protection after you install Windows Script 5.7 on a computer that is running Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP" (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=180728). This updates the Windows Scripting Host (cscript) to version 5.7.
