Repairing WMI Repository
When troubleshooting WMI on SMS/SCCM clients, I’ve frequently used the following command to attempt a repair of the WMI repository. I don’t recall where I found it (several years ago), but I also don’t want to ever forget it!
- Open a command prompt
- Change to directory C:\Windows\system32\wbem\
- Run: for /f %s in (‘dir /b *.mof *.mfl’) do mofcomp %s

what is ‘dir. I am getting the below error. Please advise me
C:\Windows\System32\wbem>for /f %s in (`dir /b *.mof *.mfl’) do mofcomp %s
The system cannot find the file `dir.

It’s a bad textual copy is all. In your comment I already spot that the leading quote mark (‘) is using what’s called a “smart quote” where it’s slanted. I’ll fix on my post, but just type in the command directly, it’ll work.
