FIX: WMI Queries Stop Responding on Host Integration Server 2000 (315095)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000
This article was previously published under Q315095

SYMPTOMS

If multiple instances of a Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) application (for example Wbemtest.exe) are configured to repeatedly issue WMI queries against the same Host Integration Server 2000 (HIS) server, after a while, one or more of the instances of Wbemtest stops responding.

When this problem occurs, all of the applications that use the HIS WMI provider will fail to return status information and will not function as expected.

CAUSE

The Host Integration Server 2000 WMI provider encounters a resource deadlock that causes all current and later WMI queries to stop responding.
