I have been trouble shooting this problem for a little while now and no luck. Anyone have any guidance on what is causing the following error? It is being executed by the splunk-wmi.exe script.

WMI - Error occurred while trying to retrieve results from a WMI query (error="Specified class is not valid." HRESULT=80041010) (root\cimv2: SELECT Name, IDProcess, PrivateBytes, PercentProcessorTime FROM Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process)
