WMIDiag won't run- "User does not have enough privileges to run WMIDiag!"
Posted by Frank on December 11th, 2007


Greetings to the group!

Google has not helped with this, so I am hopeful some kind person
can give me some insight into this problem.

On my Windows XP SP2 system, WMI is broken, so in trying to fix
it I downloaded Microsoft's WMIDiag.vbs.

Whenever I run it I get these messages:
"(main): User [****/****] does not have enough privileges to run
WMIDiag!"

and

"You must be a FULL Administrator of the computer!"

When I first tried this I was indeed logged on as an
administrator (non-default). I also created and logged on as a
new user with administrator privileges, but got the same result.

Does anyone have any idea what might be triggering this error.

Thanks,

Frank
