WMI Error Constants
If an error occurs, WMI returns an error code as an HRESULT value. These codes may be returned by scripts, C++ applications, or Wmic.
Note If WMI returns error messages, be aware that they may not indicate problems in the WMI service or in WMI providers. Failures can originate in other parts of the operating system and emerge as errors through WMI. Under any circumstances, do not delete the WMI repository as a first action because deleting the repository can cause damage to the system or to installed applications.
To obtain more information about the source of the problem, you can download and run the WMI Diagnosis Utility diagnostic command line tool. This tool produces a report that can usually isolate the source of the problem and provide instructions on how to fix it. The report also aids Microsoft support services in assisting you. You can download the WMI Diagnosis Utility here.
Some methods in WMI classes can return system and network error codes (64 for example). You can check the definition of these types of error codes by using the net helpmsg command in the command prompt window. For example, the command net helpmsg 64 returns the message: The specified network name is no longer available.
The following table lists some common ranges of errors.
| Term | Description |
|---|---|
| 0x800410xx - 0x800440 | Errors that originate in WMI itself. A specific WMI operation failed because of
|
| 0x8007xxx | Errors originating in the core operating system. WMI may return this type of error because of an external failure, for example, DCOM security failure. |
| 0x80040xxx | Errors originating in DCOM. For example, the DCOM configuration for operations to a remote computer may be incorrect. |
| 0x80005xxx | Error originating from ADSI (Active Directory Service Interfaces) or LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol), for example, an Active Directory access failure when using the WMI Active Directory providers. |
Some methods in WMI classes can return system and network error codes (64 for example). You can check the definition of these types of error codes by using the net helpmsg command in the command prompt window. For example, the command net helpmsg 64 returns the message: The specified network name is no longer available. In C++, you can call FormatMessage and specify C:/Windows/System32/wbem/wmiutils.dll as the message module.
Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows Me/98/95: Use C:/Winnt/System32/wbem/wbemcomn.dll as the message module.

|
| Component, such as a provider, failed to initialize for internal reasons. |
| Networking error that prevents normal operation has occurred. |
| Requested operation is not valid. This error usually applies to invalid attempts to delete classes or properties. |
| Query was not syntactically valid. |

| Requested method is not available. |
| Parameters provided for the method are not valid. |
| There was an attempt to get qualifiers on a system property. |
| Property type is not recognized. |
| Asynchronous process has been canceled internally or by the user. Note that due to the timing and nature of the asynchronous operation, the operation may not have been truly canceled. |
| User has requested an operation while WMI is in the process of shutting down. |
| Attempt was made to reuse an existing method name from a parent class and the signatures do not match. |
| One or more parameter values, such as a query text, is too complex or unsupported. WMI is therefore requested to retry the operation with simpler parameters. |
