While launching SQL Server Configuration Manager on one of my machine, I got below error

Here is the text of the error message:

—————————
SQL Server Configuration Manager
—————————
Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permission or the server is unreachable. Note that you can only manage SQL Server 2005 and later servers with SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Invalid class [0x80041010]
—————————
OK
—————————

There might be various reason for this error. In this case our actual problem is “Invalid class” which I have highlighted above. I have looked further and found that below is the solution for me. Same solution also works for Invalid namespace [0x8004100e] error also.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>mofcomp "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"
Microsoft (R) MOF Compiler Version 6.3.9600.16384
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp. 1997-2006. All rights reserved.
Parsing MOF file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof
MOF file has been successfully parsed
Storing data in the repository…
Done!

MofComp is a command line utility to compile MOF (Managed Object Format) files and store the data in WMI repository. The MOF Compiler is available in the %Windir%\System32\wbem directory. So if you are getting “‘mofcomp’ is not recognized as an internal or external command then try changing current directory from command prompt to %Windir%\System32\wbem

Also note that in mof file on my machine is under 120 folder. Depends on SQL version installed, you may have it in different folder. The value of that number depends on the version of SQL Server.

Microsoft SQL Server 2014	120
Microsoft SQL Server 2012	110
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2	100
Microsoft SQL Server 2008	100
Microsoft SQL Server 2005	90

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Details of MOF file in different SQL Server versions below is very much helpful.

  What is the SQL version? You need to use proper path based on version. “120” is for SQL 2014.

  Make sure you are running it via elevated command prompt. “Run As Administrator” should be used.

I Google’d that error and ran across a thread on another forum that said to check the access and launch permissions via “Dcomcnfg”. I did that and it looked okay to me. Here’s what is set via Component services –> Computers –> Configure My Computer :

CODE
Access Permissions:
Edit Limits –> ANONYMOUS LOGON has Local Access and Everyone has Local and Remote Access

Edit Defaults –> SYSTEM, INTERACTIVE, NETWORK all have Local and Remote Access permissions

Default Launch Permissions:
Edit Limits –> MACHINE\Administrators has Local and Remote Launch, Local and Remote Activation. Everyone has Local Launch and Local Activation)

Edit Default –> SYSTEM, INTERACTIVE, NETWORK all have Local and Remote Launch permissions, as well as Local and Remote Activation

Thank you so much.
Also, in SQL server 2019:
mofcomp “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\150\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof”
(“150″‘s directory) is right.
