What is WMI Provider Host?

I get this message "WMI Provider Host has stopped working and was closed"... then my machine freezes, and all my work done away.  Can you please explain what is happening.

Hello suzanne43,

You have McAfee on your computer? According to the links below this is apparently a problem caused by McAfee SpamKiller which closes the functioning of electronic mail. Try to disable SpamKiller. Here are the links: http://uk.search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8&fr=slv8-&p=WMI%20provider%20host%20stopped%20working for to read you on. Hope this helps you. Let us know anyway. Make it a great day!

  • WMI Provider Host uses up to 30% of my CPU even when I did open.

    Original title: consequences of a WMI Provider Host disabling

    Hey guys,.

    I was wondering what might happen if I disable WMI Provider Host via computer management. He's really starting to irritate me because I just built my computer, and after installing some programs, all of a sudden, WMI Provider Host consumes up to 30% of my CPU even when I did open. I had a little look for any malware but could not find anything, so I really just have to disable the thing but don't want to screw everything up! I'm currently running WIndows 8 but literally update to Windows 8.1 now.

    Cheers for any help!

  • WMI provider does not behave correctly when HostingModel on NetworkServiceHost.

    Hello

    On my windows 20012 Server system WMI provider uses a library that performs on the storage devices (maybe this library required privileges).

    Now, there are two cases:

    case 1: when HostingModel is set to LocalSystemHost, the library used by the provider is able to return the number of correctly connected storage devices (probably the library reads some registry to get the number of devices).

    2 cases: when HostingModel is set to NetworkServiceHost  on the same system the library used by the provider returns 0 number of connected devices. However another utility in using the same library returns two devices which is correct.

    Note: I use the administrator account to connect.

    Please respond with your comments as soon as possible.

    Thank you best regards &,.

  • Detect what (guest) VM consumes host resources

    Imagine a small host ESXi (free) hosting a few VMs comments.

    In certain circumstances, I guess that among the guest virtual machines increases the use of the resources of the host so that degrade the performance of the global environment.

    Can I use get-stat to get the total amount of RAM and CPU, and other resources used by the host.

    How can I detect what VM comments, at one point, uses the majority of the resources of the host?

    If I use get-stat to query virtual computers invited, how can I get the amount of the resources of the host used rather than the amount of the resources of the customer used?

    Should what counters I use?

    Concerning

    Marius

    You can combine counters in 1 call to Get-Stat.

    For example, for the use of the CPU, you can use cpu.totalcapacity.average on the node of ESXi and cpu.usagemhz.average on each virtual machine.

    Then it's a question of the use of the rule of three to get the percentage.

    $esxName = "MyEsx".

    $entities = @)

    $entities += get-VMHost-name $esxName

    $entities += get-VM-location $esx

    $stat = 'cpu.usagemhz.average ','cpu.totalcapacity.average '.

    Get-Stat - $entities - Stat $stat entity - Realtime - MaxSamples 1 - ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |

    Group-object - property Timestamp | %{

    $totalCPU = $_. Group | where {$_.} MetricId - eq "cpu.totalcapacity.average"} | Select value - ExpandProperty

    $_. Group | where {$_.} Entity.ExtensionData - is [VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine] - and $_. -Eq for instance "- and $_. MetricId - eq "cpu.usagemhz.average"} | %{

    New-Object PSObject-property @ {} TypeName

    Name = $_. @entity.name

    Time = $_. Timestamp

    "CPU % ofESXi" = [math]: tour ($_.) Value / $ totalCPU * 100, 2)

    }

    }

    }

    For percentages of memory, you can use mem.totalcapacity.average and mem.active.average.

    But look at one is expressed in MB, while the other is in KB.

  • What Linux OS to host for a virtual Windows machine?

    Dear expert VMWare

    I think I have a Linux host to run a virtual Windows 7 machine for MS Office developments and Photshop works. I'm ready to buy a hardware configuration good if needed (ideally: I5 processor, 16 GB of memory, SSD 240 GB)

    What Linux do you recommend if the criteria are:

    (1) ease of use for someone who knows nothing about Linux

    (2) best performance

    I wonder if I shouldn't go for a Windows host with Windows prompt and save energy for the Linux training. The combination of Windows/Windows is likely to be less efficient than Linux/Windows?
