[sirlojik]

hi all
i get this message in the ccm.log file when i try a client push installation using System Center Configuration Manager 2007. is there anyone out there who can help me understand why this happens and what the remedies are. I need to get this working as i have got theory knowledge bt im failing practically.

ok, im doing some research and i have found a handy utility. im still in the process of fixing WMI. ill give u response if it works.

google WMI Diagnosis Tool or wmidiag tool

well, i ran wmidiag and this was the last error snippets it gave me.

i know the right has been removed but how do i add it? once ive added the right i can set the appropriate security descriptor. also i have a funny feeling this won't solve my SCCM client push fail issue. but ill give it a go anyway.

please are there any gurus up for deciphering it for me.
