If the above steps return an error, there is an issue with the WMI repository on the server. If it returns no data there is an issue with the Windows Update information being provided to the WMI Class.

1. Go to the Node Details page of the server in question.
2. Click List Resources.
3. Clear the Asset Inventory box.
4. Click Submit Changes.
5. Click List Resources.
6. Select the Asset Inventory box.
