Thanks for the quick reply, Tom. These are all fully patched Windows XP SP2
systems that are displaying the problem. I forgot to include the WMI group
on my OP so I've added them now. Hopefully those wizards will have
something for me.

The $65,000 question is what is the quickest and easiest way to rebuild the
WMI installation?
