Error 8004100e is a WMI error, also known as WBEM_E_INVALID_NAMESPACE.

The main reason is the WMI repository. This means that WMI is corrupted. What is a WMI Repository? This database stores meta information and WMI class definitions.

Another possible reason is that Distribution Manager requires the IIS core components to be installed on the local Configuration Manager site server in order to create a virtual directory. Distribution Manager also requires Internet Information Services (IIS) to be installed on the distribution point server, which must support Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS).

Ensure that the IIS core components are installed on the local Configuration Manager site server and IIS Web Services is installed on the distribution point server.

The error message might look like this:

cWmi :: Connect () could not connect to \ DP.domainname.com \ root \ MicrosoftIISv2. 2. Error = 0x8004100E

or something similar:

DPConnection ERROR :: ConnectRemoteIISManagementWMI () – Connection to DP.domainname.com failed, error = 0x8004100e

To resolve error 0X8004100E, follow these steps:

Disable Microsoft Defender Firewall

It is important that the Microsoft Defender Firewall is enabled even if another firewall is already enabled. It protects you from unauthorized access. However, this time you need to disable it to fix this error.

To turn off Microsoft Defender Firewall:

• Select the Start button> Settings> Update & Security> Windows Security, and then select Firewall and Network Protection. Open Windows Security Settings
• Select a network profile.
• To turn off, turn off the setting. Turning off Windows Defender Firewall can make your device (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to unauthorized access. If you need to use a blocked application, you can allow it to go through the firewall instead of disabling it.

Install and Enable IIS 7.0 WMI

Recompile the Microsoft Windows.MOF files:

net stop winmgmt
against:
cd% systemroot% \ system32 \ wbem
Deposit Rd / S / Q

regsvr32 / s% systemroot% \ system32 \ scecli.dll
regsvr32 / s% systemroot% \ system32 \ userenv.dll

mofcomp cimwin32.mof
mofcomp cimwin32.mfl
mofcomp rsop.mof
mofcomp rsop.mfl
for / f% s in (‘dir / b / s * .dll’) regsvr32 / s% s
for / f% s in (‘dir / b * .mof’) do mofcomp% s
for / f% s in (‘dir / b * .mfl’) do mofcomp% s

Recompile the Citrix .MOF files:

cd% programfiles% \ citrix \ system32 \ citrix \ wmi
for / f% s in (‘dir / b * .mof * .mfl’) run mofcomp% s
Winmgmt clean boot
