SEP is alright, this maybe an issue with WMI repository unable to process OR corrupt

There are ways to clean the WMI repository

One of which I use is:

3. Start Windows Management Instrumentation(WMI) service or reboot computer.

SNAC & NAP

As far as NAP is concerned we have a product namely SNAC which is compatible. If the SEP installation is working fine then crosscheck it with other machines who do not give this error.

restarting SEP works, does that mean SEP service is stopped (SMC, rtvscan.exe)?
