SQL Configuration Manager Cannot connect to WMI provider

Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permission or the server is unreachable. Note that you can only manage SQL Server 2005 and later servers with SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Invalid namespace [0x8004100e]

This problem occurs because the WMI provider is removed when you uninstall an instance of SQL Server. The 32-bit instance and the 64-bit instance of SQL Server share the same WMI configuration file. This file is located in the %programfiles(x86)% folder.


To work around this problem, open a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

Note For this command to succeed, the Sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof file must be present in the %programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft SQL Server\number\Shared folder.

mofcomp "%programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft SQL Server\number\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"

The value of number depends on the version of SQL Server:nnn

Microsoft SQL Server 2016        130
Microsoft SQL Server 2014        120
Microsoft SQL Server 2012        110
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2   100
Microsoft SQL Server 2008        100
Microsoft SQL Server 2005        90
