I had been reasching for the way, through which WMI can be reinstalled,
as WMI was getting corrupcted on my servers on regular basis.

Here is the solution:

Go to the directory %WinDir%\Inf
Search for the file wbemnt5.inf or wbemoc.inf
Copy the file to another file, say wbemoc_reinstall.inf
Add the following lines to the top of this file:

[Components]
WBEM=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,wbemoc.inf,,7

Run the following command:
sysocmgr /i:wbemoc_reinstall.inf /f

A setup would comeup, asking to reinstall WMI.
Complete the setup wizard, and WMI would start functioning again.

Hope this would be useful to many....

Enjoy:)
