I've noticed this message show up on some of my XP machines
Type: Error
Source: DCOM
Event ID: 10010
Event Time: 11/16/2007 9:47:32 AM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: 8TH_83736
Description:
The server {73E709EA-5D93-4B2E-BBB0-99B7938DA9E4} did not register with DCOM
within the required timeout.
It appears to be an issue with the WMI Provider Subsystem Host and it shows
up at startup. After the system comes up, WMI appears to work fine: I can
query it without problem. I'm thinking it's just a slow machine and the WMI
Provider wants to start within a certain timeframe and when it doesn't it
squawks. Anyone see this before?
