I recently fixed about 7 machines that were showing in the Computer Audit Summary Failed section with error Asset Scanning is Locked on the Inventory tab. I used the instructions from the KB article and so far only 1 machine would not work. I did a wipe and reload on the machine which seems to have solved the problem.

Since then I have done about 5 more and then just last week I did about another 5 and I was down to 1 machine and now I am back up to about 5 again.

 I am not sure what would cause the WMI repository to become corrupt on the machines.I know they don't report correctly when the WMI is corrupt.

Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a more permanent solution to the problem, maybe something I am missing?
