CIM Studio and WbemTest Disparity

Hello,
   When running the query "SELECT * FROM 
Win32_PerfRawData_EXOLEDB_MSExchangeWebMail" via WbemTest against a Windows 
2008 Server 64-bit machine runnning Exchange 2007 64-bit with the namespace 
specified as '\\machineName\root\cimv2' I received data back.  When running 
the exact same query using CIM Studio against the same machine, namespace, 
etc., I receive the error "Invalid Class".

A query such as "SELECT * FROM Win32_PerfRawData_PerfOS_Processor" works via 
both WbemTest and CIM Studio when directed agains the same machine, so it 
appears there's something different about the  
Win32_PerfRawData_EXOLEDB_MSExchangeWebMail class.


If I run the exact same problematic query (i.e. "SELECT * FROM 
Win32_PerfRawData_EXOLEDB_MSExchangeWebMail") against a Windows Server 2003 
32-bit machine running Exchange 2003 32-bit, both tools return the same 
expected results.

Both WbemTest and CIM Studio are launched via the Start menu on the same 
machine in the same session, and no credentials are explicitly specified 
(i.e. both inherit the token from Explorer), so there should be no credential 
difference.

Why the difference between the two tools?

Thanks,

Matt
