WCF error from "System.ServiceModel.Administration.WbemProvider" in event log

Question

Hi,

we run a WCF service hosted in IIS7 on Win2k8. We see the following error in the event log.

The WMI provider was not registered. WMI Object: System.ServiceModel.Administration.WbemProvider/65126532 Error:80041003 Process Name: w3wp Process ID: 10144

Which WMI provider has not been registered? What setup procedure was supposed to register it, and failed?

Thanks, Alex

Answer 1

The account under which the service was running had no rights to register the WCF WMI provider. Goto "Computer Management", "WMI Controls" and adjust rights of the "ServiceModel" namespace.
