WMI error 0x8004106C smsprovider log

Symptoms: Sometimes, you get this error in SMS Provider log, in CM2012.
This is generally due to load on the server and WMI, during temporary processing of queries.

Resolution: This error can be fixed by increasing the quota values in __ProviderHostQuotaConfiguration WMI class.

Changing values of Memory perhost and Memory allhosts is enough.

Method is described here: http://babaus.azurewebsites.net/2015/08/14/wmi-fine-tuning-for-config-mgr/

Another way is to run this script:

$WMIProviderConfig = Get-WmiObject @WMIHT            
$WMIProviderConfig.MemoryPerHost = 1024MB            
try {            
  $WMIProviderConfig.Put() | Out-Null            
  Write-Verbose -Message "Successfully changed the WMI provider settings" -Verbose            
} catch {            
  Write-Warning "Failed to modify the WMI provider because $($_.Exception.Message)"            
}
