    This looks like a (classic) WMI issue. You need to initiate a repair of WMI on this system as a first step. The method of doing this varies depending upon the client's OS though. Note: Do not simply delete the WMI repository, this is a desctructive operation.

    Ditto to Jason's reply.  If you want to try something quick and easy, give this a shot: http://t3chn1ck.wordpress.com/2009/05/22/repairing-wmi-repository/.  The SCCM Client Center is also another good tool for repairing WMI.
