Hi All, I was wondering if any of you have seen any WMI errors of any type due to any hotfix patching on your exchange 2k servers? My BackupExec job stalls on the WMI database on my exchange server for about the last month now, veritas tech support is just going around in circles... Could be related to RPC and/or DCOM objects I think - it is a fairly stock machine with just exchange on it, full SPs and most hotfixes, not exposed externally.
