WMI namespace root\cimv2 not available on Win2k?

I'm trying to run the following VBScript code on a Win2k SP4:

strComputer = "."    
Set oWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

It works on XP and Win7 without problems, but on this 2k box I get the following error:

C:\test_wmi.vbs(3, 1) (null): 0x8004100E

The error description is: Namespace specified cannot be found.

When I query the namespaces on root, using this code:

strComputer = "."

Set objSWbemServices = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root")
Set colNameSpaces = objSwbemServices.InstancesOf("__NAMESPACE")

For Each objNameSpace In colNameSpaces
 Wscript.Echo objNameSpace.Name
Next

I get this:

DEFAULT
SECURITY
WMI
directory
aspnet

As far as I have read, CIMV2 namespace should be there. Any ideas???

Thanks!

Solution

Finally, what worked for me was rebuilding the WMI Repository. This is what I did:

Stop the WMI service (net stop winmgmt)
Go to %windows%/system32/wbem (in my win2k, winnt, on XP would be windows)
Rename or remove the repository directory
Start the WMI service again (net start winmgmt)

Also, this method could have helped (to reinstall WMI into the Registry):

winmgmt /clearadap
winmgmt /kill
winmgmt /unregserver
winmgmt /regserver
winmgmt /resyncperf

Thanks Uros for your help, both webcasts and the tool were very helpful.
