Repairing WMI when ccmclean fails

I was trying to fix an SMS 2003 R2 advanced client, but even CCMCLEAN tool was failing with an error “ccmclean failed to open to WMI namespace” (error 8004100A).

After a little googling around, the most probable cause seemed to be WMI corruption. So in order to fix this, open a command prompt and type:

cd %windir%\system32\wbem\
net stop winmgmt
rmdir /s /q repository
rmdir /s /q Logs
mkdir Logs
net start winmgmt
