I am having an issue with a specific client that I can't get to successfully run the SMS advanced client. I have tried to reinstall the client with no success. The setup runs successfully, but I get the following in the ccmexec.log. Anyone seen this before?

Yes I have. I tracked it down to being a corrupt WMI repository. Is this happening on a workstation, server or SMS server. Each require a different method of rebuilding the WMI repository. Let me know which and I can provide some recommendations.

This is on a workstation. I look forward to your recommendations.

Follow the instructions on this site: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/repairwmi.htm. You want to start with the "Rebuilding the WMI Repository" and work down the list, if further rebuilding is necessary.

I have the same issue, but it is on a Server (x64). What is the proper method for addressing WMI on a Server class OS and hardware?

i would run wmidiag and from that you can tell if its a wmi issue.. If client is installing successfully run the delcert utility,

I should know better to run WMIDiag first before messing with the WMI repository on a server. Thanks for (virtually) knocking some sense into me :)

WMIDiag reports a number of errors with WMI namespace security. I'm going to have a try at fixing those and give the client install another go.
