Once installed PM 1.8 the WMI Providers were automatically deployed and version 1.80.778.0 was installed on most computers. There were a few that didn't get installed, and the reason why is not clear. This happened when I first installed PM 1.7 and I simply solved the problem by publishing the WMI Provider package provided. I went to this this wither 1.8 and realized a version discrepancy. Although version 1.80.778.0 is what has been automatically deployed, version 1.80.785.0 is what seems to be available under the SolarWinds, Inc. Packages. Obviously I do not want to deploy an older WMI Provider. Please advise. -mark
