In the past couple of years I have stumbled over this error when I install OpsMgr Clients – It seams like some products are doing naughty things with the WMI database, which then leaves the WMI repository in Inconsistent state. The way I correct this is by using the following recipe:

Error when installing OpsMgr Agent:

Symptoms:

Check Properties on your computer, are there no information in Processor and Memory?????

Resolution:

1)      Change to C:\windows\system32\wbem

2)      Run the command: winmgmt /verifyrepository

3)      Check the result: “WMI repository is INCONSISTENT” ?

4)      If so run the command: winmgmt /salvagerepository

5)      Check the Result, is it: “WMI repository has been salvaged”

6)      Run the command: For /f %s in (‘dir /b *.mof *.mfl’) do mofcomp %s

And now the installation of the OpsMr Agent should run fine – It could happen you have to copy *.mof files from another computer with the same OS and x86/x64 to the wbem directory and run #6 again.
