While opening of SQL Server Configuration Manager if you get error message of

"Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permission or the server is unreachable"
Cause:
This problem occurs because the WMI provider is removed when you uninstall an instance of SQL Server 2008. The 32-bit instance and the 64-bit instance of SQL Server 2008 share the same WMI configuration file. This file is located in the %programfiles(x86)% folder.

Workaround:
To work around this problem, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
mofcomp "%programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"
