WMI is cool - when it's broken WMIDIAG is even cooler...
Summary: "The WMI Diagnosis Utility performs a detailed examination of the WMI service and all its related components. If a problem is found, the utility not only reports on the problem and its possible causes, but also offers suggestions for repairing the problem. (Note that, in this first version, this is a diagnostic tool only: although it will offer step-by-step instructions for fixing a problem it cannot fix the problem itself.)"
