AppInsight for SQL status is grey or red for the sqlserver.exe process but is green for all other components

When using AppInsight for SQL, the server is either gray or red while the components are all green. When running wbemtest, the command line returned is blank, even though the Task Manager shows the command line to be filled out.

Overview

The AppInsight for SQL status shows as grey or red for a process, yet all the components show as green.

For example: When using the RPC method, the sqlserver.exe process shows as grey. When using the WMI method, the same process shows as red. However, the icon for the components shows as green.

When debugging the application and inserting the command into wbemtest, the command line value is empty. When displaying the command line for the sqlserver.exe process in Windows Task Manager, the command line is filled out.
