SQL Server Configuration Manager cannot connect to WMI

Sometime before I faced different kind of issue on one of staging SQL Server. I required to change the TCP port of an instance where multiple instance were running, I just open compmgmt.msc and connected SQLServer Configuration Manager, then I started receiving error : “Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permission or the server is unreachable. Note that you can only manage SQL Server 2005 and later servers with SQL Server Configuration Manager. Invalid class [0x80041010], SQL Server Cannot Connect to WMI Provider permissions or server is unreachable.”

This may caused by an issue with the compiled SQL Configuration Manager GUI’s communication with WMI. If we have multiple instance running on SQL Server on a single windows server or we have un-installed any instances then this kind of issues we may face to connect.

Solution

1. At first start the command prompt

2. Then locate the path of SSCM shared instance based on version, we can get the path where shared tool as below

SQL 2008: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\
SQL 2008 R2: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\
SQL 2012: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Shared\
SQL 2014: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Shared\

3. Then run the below command from above location.

mofcomp sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof

Now try to connect same again.

Hope you can connect.

Happy reading

Configure Impersonation Authentication in IIS8 for MVC Application

Impersonation is when ASP.NET executes code in the context of an authenticated and authorized client. By default, ASP.NET does not use impersonation and instead executes all code using the same user account as the ASP.NET process, which is typically the ASPNET account. There are 5 below steps by which we can establish Impersonation configuration in our secured application environment. 1.) Creation of Application/Proxy user where Application is hosted. 2.) Give appropriate access to the user. 3.) Create Database Login user on database. 4.) Authenticate User and provide credential on IIS. 5.) Then Configure web.config on Application.
