Making progress of a sort, at least I changed the error message but I'm not
sure what I am doing here and seem to be thrashing around.
Got the WMI Diagnosis Utility, ran it, took about an hour, got several
messages like
BUILTIN\ADMINISTRATORS' has been REMOVED
Default trustee 'NT AUTHORITY\SELF' has been REMOVED!
NT AUTHORITY\INTERACTIVE' has been REMOVED!
'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM' has been REMOVED
DCOM security for 'My Computer' (Access Permissions/Edit Default):
.................................................. MODIFIED.
ERROR: Default trustee 'NT AUTHORITY\SELF' has been REMOVED!
REMOVED ACE:
Ran DCOMCNFG.EXE as instructed but can't find the above reference. i.e.
nothing called access, permissions or authority.
found
Microsoft WBEM Usecured Apartment
Microsoft WMI Provider Subsystem Host
both had security set to custom, so I set it to default
ran msinfor32.exe and got.
Can't collect information Windows management files may be moved or missing.
so I changed back to custom but I still get the same message that it can't
find the files. It seems like I should be altering permissions somewhere,
but where?
