ASP.Net namespace missing from WMI

[Roger]

Have a windows 2003 Server SP2. Have IIS installed with the ASP.Net checked.
Have both framework 1.1 and 2.0.
But, when I attempt to run aspnet_regiis -i -enable in the
c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727, I have errors. Check the log,
and it failed on accessing the WMI root\aspnet namespace.
I can run the same command on v1.1.4322 just fine with no errors.
It I run the wbemtest.exe and attempt to connect to the root\aspnet
namespace, it says it cannot connect. Go to another server with IIS that I
know works and attempt the same thing that (wbemtest.exe), it connects fine.
I have uncheck the ASP.Net windows component, reboot the server, recheck the
component and reboot to no avil. Even uncheck the IIS component and reinstall
and still no go.
If people I talked to basically says that the only way to fix is to rebuild
the server from scratch. Any ideas how to fix it without taking that drastic
of a measure?
