This probably won't thread properly as I wasn't subscribed when Tim 
wrote the above, and I had to visit the archive.

I have sent the customer a small VBS script I used when I was developing 
the Python WMI version and am awaiting a reply.  I have also found the 
following resources which seem relevant:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7078184/unable-to-get-wmi-object-via-getobjectwinmgmts?rq=1

which offers some possible reset/repair options and also leads to the 
Microsoft WMI Diagnosis Utility
