This affects all version of Windows XP. Requires SP2 or newer. This hotfix updates this error and provides a newer version of Cimwin32.dll. This hotfix gives the newest version of WMI. Newer then all the rest.
We also ran into the issue that our MOF modification provided by www.sccmexpert.com was gathering the path. However, it was only gathering up to 255 characters. I am looking for a method beyond directly modifying the SQL tables on the primaries and their parents.
