WMI: Get IIS Information probe results in warning "Unable to connect to path: root\MicrosoftIISv2. Error: Invalid namespace"

KB Summary by Now Assist

Description

Microsoft removed the namespace "root\MicrosoftIISv2" starting at IIS 7.0 and replaced it with the namespace "root\WebAdministration."

On Windows with IIS 7.0 and above, the probe "WMI: Get IIS Information" may result in:

* the warning: "Unable to connect to path: root\MicrosoftIISv2. Error: Invalid namespace"
* no cmdb_ci_web_site records are created

This affects Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2012.

An enhancement request has been created to add support to the new namespace. A workaround is provided in this article.

Steps to Reproduce

No steps to reproduce are available.

Workaround

Install the IIS 6 WMI Compatibility server roles for the root\MicrosoftIISv2 namespace to be present:
