"0x80041001 : Generic failure" when instantiating Win32_SCSIContro   

Hello,

I am getting "0x80041001 : Generic failure" error message when attempting to 
instantiate the Win32_SCSIController WMI class on just a handful of over 
1,000 servers.

I have gone through the "WMI Isn't Working!" document 
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/topics/help/wmi.mspx), 
attempting the following to no avail:

	Restart WMI service
	Re-register Cimwin32.dll
		cd %windir%\System32\Wbem
		RegSvr32 –s Cimwin32.dll
	Re-compile the Cimwin32.mof & Cimwin32.mfl files
		mofcomp.exe Cimwin32.mof
		mofcomp.exe Cimwin32.mfl
	Rebuilt the Repository

All of the affected servers are Win2K-class (Std & Adv) with SP4.  Querying 
other classes works flawlessly!  I have compared the CIMWIN32.MOF, 
CIMWIN32.MFL, and CIMWIN32.DLL files with other servers not affected by the 
problem and they are identical.

Looking forward to a response,

Larry

Hi,

What make / model of controllers are on the 1000 servers?

Re: "0x80041001 : Generic failure" when instantiating Win32_SCSICo   

Specifically, we have an interest in the Fibre Channel HBAs from Emulex & 
QLogics installed in our servers.  I have hundreds of other servers with 
similar HBAs that respond perfectly with Win32_SCSIController queries.
