Windows Management not available

Goto the SMS Home Page

 
After a fresh new SMS 2.0 SP2 Primary site installation, (clients only on the site servers, the DCs and the servers) the Windows Management (version 698.0014) won't install on some SP4 and SP5 servers. The component status always remains as "not available". A repair installation and an update configuration doesn't change anything.

Although you said it was a "fresh, new SMS 2.0 SP2 installation" of the site server, if the server had a previous installation of SMS on it a site removal doesn't remove the WBEM folder from <systemroot>\System32\. Unless you remove the WBEM folder manually, the install of SMS will not replace the WBEM files and then renders WMI inoperative. Running WBEMSDK doesn't always help either, although you can check out Technet article 254083 "SMS 2.0 SP1 Is Not Compatible with WMI Version 1085" for more information.

If you talking about WMI, on NT systems MS recommends using wbemperm. However, WMI control must be used on W2k.
