sql server configuration manager server threw an exception 0x80010105: Clean WMI
I faced a problem with the installation of SQL SERVER (2008 R2, sp1, Express edition) on my windows 7 64bits laptop. The installation went fine. But the Sql Server Configuration Manager was loaded with an error (0x80010105) preventing from using it.

It appeared that the cause was a defect in the WMI index, which could be caused by an unclean program removal.

In order to rebuild the WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation), I had to clean the WMI index and force a rebuild.

Clean the index of WMI:
Stop the WMI service
use command prompt and CD to c:\windows\system32\wbem\repository
Del *.*
restart windows asap

Then for the SQL SERVER , I simply "repaired" it using the program install feature. It forced to re-register the management tools to WMI.

It maybe help you saving lots of time...
