WMIDiag 2.2 is here!

  • [アーティクル]

Hello AskPerf blog readers! Jeff here from the Windows Performance Team once again. I am happy to announce that the new version of WMIDIAG is finally here. It’s now compatible for Windows 8/8.1 as well as Sever 2012/2012R2. Some of you may have been aware that the previous version used to also show a lot of errors and that majority of them were erroneous or false positives simply due to wmi class name changes between OS versions. That has been all cleaned up and all errors have been corrected. When you run the new version it should look a lot cleaner and what errors you do see should be accurate and deserving of attention.

The WMI Diagnosis Tool is a VBScript based-tool for testing, validating, and analyzing WMI installation/issues. The tool collects data from WMI installations on all Microsoft Operating Systems at any or no service pack level.

WMI Diagnostics 2.2 requires you to have Local Administrator rights as well as Windows Script Host (WSH) enabled.

To download this tool, please click here.

After you download WMIDiag.exe, run it and extract the files to a local folder. If you double-click WMIDiag.vbs, the following message will appear:

If you want to see its activity, then you would run “cscript WMIDiag.vbs” from the command prompt, or you can change the default script host to the command line by running “cscript //H:CScript”.

Note: By default WMIDiag does not check repository consistency and you would need to run manually from command prompt using “cscript WMIDiag.vbs checkconsistency”

WMIDIAG can be run from Windows Explorer, or from the command line. Each time it runs, the WMI Diagnosis Tool creates the following three files in the %TEMP% directory:

  • .LOG file containing all the WMI Diagnosis Tool activity as well as a WMI report at the end
  • .TXT file containing the WMI Diagnosis Tool report
  • .CSV file containing statistics that can be used to measure trends and issues

When the WMI Diagnosis Tool terminates, the ERRORLEVEL environment variable is set to one of the following values:

0 = SUCCESS

  • WSH has a script execution timeout setup (in machine or system environment)
  • Machine reports suspicious improper shutdowns
  • User Account Control (UAC) status is reported (Vista and above)

The generated report “ %TEMP%\WMIDIAG-V2.2_WIN8.1_CLI.RTM.64_MYPC_2015.05.11_15.02.30-REPORT.TXT“ contains two types of figures:

  • WARNING - Information that is useful if certain actions are executed
  • ERROR - Problems that need to be solved to avoid errors reported by WMI

WMI DIAG 2.2 FAQ:

1. Where can I get the WMI Diagnosis Tool?

The WMI Diagnosis Tool can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7684. More information about the WMI Diagnosis Tool usage can be found in the document (WMIDiag.doc) which comes along with the download.

2. Is the tool supported?

There is no official support for WMI Diagnosis Tool.

3. Can the WMI Diagnosis Tool diagnose a remote computer?

The WMI Diagnosis Tool is not designed to diagnose remote computers. This is due to the fact that WMI remote access is mainly based on the WMI infrastructure. Because the aim of WMI Diagnosis Tool is to diagnose WMI, the WMI Diagnosis Tool does not use WMI to perform its core operations. That’s why the WMI Diagnosis Tool must be run locally. However, the WMI Diagnosis Tool can be deployed remotely using Group Policy, Systems Management Server (SMS), or Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) via a Management Pack. With Windows Vista, the WMI Diagnosis Tool can also be remotely executed through WinRM/WinRS, provided you configure and enable these features (WinRM/WinRS are not enabled by default). Microsoft SysInternals tool PSEXEC.EXE on Technet can also be used.

4. Does the WMI Diagnosis Tool fix problems it discovers?

No. The WMI Diagnosis Tool executes in read-only mode. Even though the WMI Diagnosis Tool diagnoses the situation and provides procedures to fix problems, at no time does the tool automatically fix a problem. This is by design, because the correct repair procedure depends on the context, the usage, and the list of applications installed on the computer.

I hope this new tool will help you identifying potential WMI issues in your environment. Don’t forget to read the support document (WMIDiag.doc) included in the WMIDIAG 2.2 download.
