If he is a programmer or a scripter and the planned approach does not even work on his own machine he might consider another approach like ipconfig or Powershell with a wmi cmdlet.

Never mind i fixed it .

The problem was in WMI.

I used this solution.

1. Disable and stop the winmgmt service
2. Remove or rename C:\Windows\System32\wbem\repository
3. Enable and start the winmgmt service
4. Open a CMD prompt as Administrator
5. In the CMD prompt Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\wbem\
6. Run the following command:

for /f %s in ('dir /b *.mof') do mofcomp %s

Note: This will take a minute or so to complete.

7. Now run the command:

for /f %s in ('dir /b en-us\.mfl') do mofcomp en-us\s
