Hello

Can you send us a copy of the execution of the command manually in a terminal and a screencapture of the module configuration.

Regards
Ivo

Please keep in mind that I am providing a limited example. I have over 400 WMI modules in use in total. None of them will initialize after the upgrade.

Command:
[root@pandorafmsairporttest pandora]# wmic -U XXX/XXX%XXX –namespace=”ROOTCIMV2″ //x.x.x.x “select Name from Win32_PageFileUsage”

Returns:
CLASS: Win32_PageFileUsage
Name
C:pagefile.sys

Below is the corresponding log file entry:

Hi

Why you are using the field Namespace?

Have you tried using only Username:, Password and Query??

Thank you for this discovery.

There is no specific reason why this is being used. But it is configured on all of my WMI modules.

From the GUI
In version 5.0 the back or forward slash “” “/” works.
In version 5.1 only the forward slash “/” works.

From the CLI
Only the forward slash “/” works in both versions.

Is version 5.0 translating this on execution?

Do you know any way to change all the modules “/”, or remove that field? I don’t see that filed in the “Massive operations.”

Hi

You can’t do it massively, but you can change it by mysql query:

update tagente_modulo set tcp_send = “/” where id_tipo_modulo = 3

Before to run this query, run this:

select * from tagente_modulo where id_tipo_modulo = 3

and check if all modules are WMI modules.

Good Day,

Query: select * from tagente_modulo where id_tipo_modulo = 3;

Is returning 243 rows.

I have 424 WMI modules.

If I apply the update, I can confirm that it in fact only updates about half of them.

Any ideas?

Oh Sorry,

id_tipo_modulo=3 is the type generic_data_string, not only WMI. Not exist any option to see only WMI modules in database. Only you can change it manually or if you have agents only with WMI modules, you can select the query as id_agent and change all modules at same time.

I understand.

Wouldn’t the below sql query accomplish the task of removing the entry?

update tagente_modulo set tcp_send = replace(tcp_send, ‘ROOT\CIMV2’, ‘’);

I believe this to be more accurate.

Use pandora;
Update tagente_modulo set tcp_send = replace(tcp_send,’ROOT\CIMV2′,”);

Oh, yes, if you have the same namespace in all module configuration you can use this query.

Great!

Just a heads up to everyone looking. This fixed my WMI login errors on domain servers. For some reason if you use a normal backslash “” it dosnt work. Change it to a forward slash “/” and the WMI browser/queries will work.

For example: domain/administrator instead of domainadministrator

Tag to help others find this… took me FOREVER:
ERROR Unable to do WMI explorer
