WMI error in SQL Configuration Manager

   Today I spent a couple hours wracking my brain over an error I received in the SQL Reporting Services Configuration Manager: "A WMI error has occurred and no additional error information is available". Without much luck searching Google in finding an answer, I decided to try the basic fundamentals in solving errors for complete noobs, checking if things are installed / running, etc. Then I realised that my SQL Server 2005 Database instance was SP2 and SQL Reporting Services was installed only as SP1. The error resulted in the fact that I had incompatible versions installed.

   I was able to solve this issue by downloading Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 and installing it against my instance of SQL Reporting Services.

   This goes out to all my other programming comrades out there. :-) Let me know if this did the trick for you or not!
