WMI Diag won't work well in non-English Windows

  • Artikel

Hi all,

If you ever use WMI Diag script (The WMI Diagnosis Utility -- Version 2.0) on a non-English version of Windows (i.e. Spanish, French, Italian, German...), you will get tons of errors when the script checks out default permissions on WMI namespaces or DCOM components related to WMI, for instance.

The cause is simple: the script checks permissions for groups of users which name is language-dependant.

If we use WMI Diag in i.e. a Spanish Windows, we will have to edit the script and replace:

- "BUILTIN\Administrators" with "BUILTIN\Administradores",

- "Everyone" with "Todos",

- "NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" with "NT AUTHORITY\Servicio de red",

- "NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE" with "NT AUTHORITY\SERVICIO LOCAL",

- "NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users" with "NT AUTHORITY\Usuarios autentificados",

 

Now you can run the script and find out if your WMI is really broken.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

    I must have gotten something wrong. When I used the original WMIDiag I found lots of errors like you described. Example:DCOM security for 'My Computer' (Access Permissions/Edit Limits): ................................................... MODIFIED.23379 15:24:51 (1) !! ERROR: Default trustee 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON' has been REMOVED!So I translated the Anonymous Logon into German and now I get:DCOM security for 'My Computer' (Access Permissions/Edit Limits): ................................................... MODIFIED.22983 16:36:12 (1) !! ERROR: Default trustee 'NT AUTHORITYANONYME ANMELDUNG' has been REMOVED!What did I do wrong???CheersWolf

    Did you check DCOM security? Maybe ANONYMOUS LOGON is actually missing... If it's there, take a look to the way your Windows translated the name to German. Sometimes the translation is not as obvious as it seems...
