“The settings for this terminal server cannot be retrieved” error

Posted on May 13th, 2009 in Microsoft,Server 2008 by Gil Kreslavsky

When trying to access windows 2008 terminal server “Terminal Server Configuration” Snap-in you receive the error
The settings for this terminal server cannot be retrieved

To solve that issue:

  • Open Command prompt
  • Type winmgmt /salvagerepository
    Performs a consistency check on the WMI repository, and if an inconsistency is detected, rebuilds the repository. The content of the inconsistent repository is merged into the rebuilt repository, if it can be read. The salvage operation always works with the repository that the WMI service is currently using. For more information about errors returned by this command, see the Remarks section.
  • Type winmgmt /resetrepository
    The repository is reset to the initial state when the operating system is first installed. MOF files that contain the #pragma autorecover preprocessor statement are restored to the repository.
  • Reboot server
