    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.

    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:

    1. Stop Windows Management Instrumentation(WMI) service。
    2. Delete all the files in C:\windows\system32\wbem\Repository folder
    3. Start Windows Management Instrumentation(WMI) service or reboot computer.

    Make sure all your clients are also on MR4MP2 or MR5/RU5

     Nelson:
     Can you pls. elaborate little bit more on this issue. do you think you can generate logs and share us some more info? Are you running liveupdate manually. Do you think you have a reproducible scenario? What is the NAP policy you are using?

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