I recently was having problems with my WMI queries. Following some (bad) advice I rebuilt the repository. It didn’t solve my problem, and afterwards all the performance counter classes had disappeared. Win32_PerfRawData_* and Win32_PerfFormattedData_* were gone, reporting error 0x80041010 [“Invalid class”] (Instead of an error 0x80041010, MS says you might get error 0x80041002 [“Object could not be found”] or error 0x80041006 [“Insufficient memory”] when trying to connect to a nonexistent class.) All the rebuilding and troubleshooting and searching MOF files gave me nothing.
The answer? winmgmt /resyncperf rebuilds the performance counter classes in the repository. To be extra safe, winmgmt /clearadap clears the old data first.
Here's all the classes I'm talking about, because I'm a Google whore and I really want people to find this.

Exactly the solution I was searching for. Thanks.
Mike,
Thanks for this solution it was just what I was looking for. You do not mention it but others have that a reboot is required once the solution is applied. Did you find that the reboot was a requirement as well??
Rauleigh
Thanks you for this article, this was the solution to my problems also!
One more hint: Give your server a couple of time to resync any counters. I had to wait for more than 15 minutes until I could access.
