Hi

Well, we are using BE version 9.1 on Windows 2000 server.

Lately I started to receive the WMI error form deferent servers in the domain, it may occurs one day on the X server and next day on the Y server and then on the X server again and some time dose not occur on any of the servers, I need to know why Im having this error I tried the recommendation of the Veritas to troubleshoot this problem but I did not find anything that is not normal, so ended up by baking up the WMI service manually as recommended by Veritas.

On my backup cycle I have MS Exchange 2000 server, MS SQL server, 2 Windows 2000 server as a DC.

Please advice

Thanks
