I have an issue with a Windows Server 2008 Standard SP1 whereby I have lost the ability to monitor it remotely. After investigation, it appears to be because there is an issue with WMI. In the WMI COntrol Properties, it states:
Failed to initialize all required WMI classes.
Win32_Processor: Win32: The paging file is too small for this operation to complete.
The page file seems fine 2314M / 12404M. I have tried restarting WMI with no positive result.
After searching, I found this article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981314) which indicated that there was a hotfix for this issue, but after trying to install it, I get this error :
The update does not apply to your system.
I'm sure that a reboot will cure the issue (from what I have read) but this will cause me issues and it is likely to re-occur again if not fixed properly.
Has anyone had a similar experience and/or any suggestions to resolve this?

I suspect your WMI files have been corrupted, try running
winmgmt /verifyrepositoryor WMIdiag http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=7684If these show errors rebuild the repository
