SQL SERVER – Configuration Manager Error: The Server Threw an Exception [0x80010105]

In my previous blog, I showed one of the errors caused due to disabled WMI service.  In this blog, we would learn how to fix error “The server threw an Exception [0x80010105]” while using SQL Server Configuration Manager.

After reading my previous blog, one of my blog readers contacted me to fix another error. If you search on the internet mostly you would see KB 2849344 but the client was using Windows Server 2008 and article is applicable to Windows 2012.

Here is how it was seen in the configuration manager:

WORKAROUND/SOLUTION

In a few situations found on the internet, WMI service restart helped to fix the issue. We already tried restarting WMI Service, but it didn’t help in this situation.

Here are the steps which helped us in fixing the error. These are available on the internet on various blogs. I wanted you to save all possible steps to fix the error.

1. Try restarting WMI Service.
2. Compile all the MOF file related to windows. You can do that by using a script in my earlier blog SQL SERVER – WMI Error 0x80041017 – Invalid Query Using WBEMTest
3. Compile MOF file related to SQL Server configuration manager.
   1. Open a command prompt as administrator
   2. Navigate to your SQL version’s shared directory (cd ):
      SQL 2005: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\
      SQL 2008 R2: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\
      SQL 2012: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Shared\
      SQL 2014: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Shared\
      SQL 2016: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\130\Shared\
   3. Then run the following command:
      mofcomp sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mofHere is the sample outputMicrosoft (R) MOF Compiler Version 6.2.9200.16384
      Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp. 1997-2006. All rights reserved.
      Parsing MOF file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\130\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof
      MOF file has been successfully parsed
      Storing data in the repository…
      Done!
4. Recompile winwin32
   Mofcomp.exe %windir%\system32\wbem\cimwin32.mof
   And restart WMI Service.

I truly hope that the above steps should fix the issue for others also. If you find some other solution, please share via comments.
