WMI Encountered a problem and needed to close error

After installing the Dell MP you might start to see a bunch of WMI errors on your Dell Servers.

“Event ID: 1000; Faulting application wmiprvse.exe

This fix was suggested by Dell 3rd level Support.

The problem is caused by the Dell OpenManage Management Pack in SCOM. WMI throws these errors when SCOM queries WMI on Dell server. I have not seen any application issues due to the WMI errors.

These patches are not included in SP2 so if you are running SP2 you will still need the patches.
