WMI Consumer - Server could not retrieve its initial configuration for a class from the WMI Provider.

WMI_Consumer___Server_could_not_retrieve_its_initial_configuration_for_a_class_from_the_WMI_Provider._3_7_Rule (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Management Pack

Summary
Server could not retrieve its initial configuration for a class from the WMI Provider.

Causes
This can occur if the connection to Active Directory or SQL back-end database is down or if permissions to the service account are altered. Retrieval can also fail if an invalid entry is entered in the class using the UI or WMI or if corruption occurs in local WMI repository.

Resolutions
Make sure the account the service is running under has proper privileges and that connection to Active Directory or SQL back-end database is functional. Verify an identical entry does not exist as a direct federation partner and an IM service provider.
