  I have a script that uses"

  Function Set-Wmi-NamespaceSecurity

  I'm running it "as administrator" from a network share.  It has always worked.  
  Recently, on ONE workstation, it fails with:

  Invoke-WmiMethod : Unexpected error
  At C:\TEMP\Set-WmiNamespaceSecurity.ps1:58 char:15
  + ...   $output = Invoke-WmiMethod @invokeparams -Name GetSecurityDescripto ...
  +                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [Invoke-WmiMethod], ManagementException
      + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvokeWMIManagementException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeWmiMethod

  Why would this happen and what might be done to fix?

  Thanks!
