I am getting this error in the MID Server log file (and in the Pattern Log). See ERROR below.
I ran some PowerShell (see below) to investigate this issue. My Question is Why is the Pattern querying the WMI Namespace root/MSCluster for most or all Windows Servers? This seams unnecessary and is causing unnecessary errors. You can see from my PowerShell output for WMI QUERY 1 that this Namespace does not exist. The Pattern should perform Query 1 first for all Windows Servers - and should only query root/MSCluster if this namespace is found to exist.
Have I made a mistake? Any thoughts?
