When I open Reporting Services Configuration Manager on my server, an error message appears that says:
Reporting Services Configuration Manager
An unknown error has occurred in the WMI Provider. Error Code 800706B3
This error appears before I can even attempt to connect to an SSRS instance.
In addition to this problem, I'm not able to connect to my SSRS instance via SSMS on my desktop. When I attempt to connect, I get the following error message:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. (mscorlib)
Additional information:
The operation could not be completed. (WinMgmt)
Information about my environment:
Server: Win Server 2K3 x64, SQL 2005 x64 SP3 Build 9.0.4053
Desktop: Windows 7 Enterprise x64
Steps I have already taken:
I have installed the latest service pack on my server and workstation. I do not see any errors in my event logs.
