Migrating from SBS 2003 R2 to a new DELL SBS 2008 box and everything was
going great until I ran the Connect to the Internet wizard. It finds the
server, and the router but when I hit next, it gives me a "WMI Provider Host
stopped working and was closed" error every time. Can't move onto the next
step until this is resolved. Says it needs to run the Connect to the
Internet wizard first.
I also get a "Faulting application wmiprvse.exe ... faulting module
msvcrt.dll" in the Event Log
Anyone know what to check for or where to go from here?

Thanks
Jason

To cause the WMI provider to completely crash sounds like a memory or file
issue. Any 3rd party software installed on the box? Particularly
AV/security software that may be improperly configured or causing a
conflict?
