I'm responsible for maintaining SCCM client health on 20,000 XP client machines. I recognize that rebuilding WMI is officially discourage, but I do it every day. In my experience, WMI corruption happens most often when a machine is inelegantly shut down while the machine is "doing something" involving WMI (most often, security patch installation via SCCM). The most visible result of a WMI corruption is the timestamps on the files in \windows\system32\wbem\repository\fs. These files should be dynamic, with current timestamps. Often times I see the timestamps on these files "frozen" at the point a machine was powered down hard.

Nice post, but my repository on my SITE server has been deleted. I can't connect to my site server anymore.

Can I rebuild the repository on My SCCM site server ?
