Finally found the solution to fix the “An error occured during a call to Windows Management Instrumentation ID no: 8004100e Exchange System Manager” error. It worked beautifully. I can now fully utilise Message Tracking on my Windows 2000 Exchange server.
I have to give full credit to Luke Edson at http://www.mrtweak.com/exchange-ser…install-script/
In essence, it incompases the solution given by Danielp ealier, but goes a little further. Just run this script:

Change SBS Backup Selections
Thursday, October 2nd, 2008Run the SBSBackup wiz and make your selections as close as possible to what you want (or not, doesn’t really matter what is selected at this point) then fire up NTBackup. Programs, accesories, backup. Cancel the NTBackup wiz (if
it starts in wiz mode, default), go to the backup page and from the ‘job’ menu ‘load selections’. The SBSBackup wiz creates a selection file, Small Business Backup Script.bks in C:\Program files\Microsoft Windows Small Business Server\backup, it is this file you wish to load. Adjust the
selections in NTBackup and save the file.
Fix Application Error
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008How to fix Server Error in ‘yourApp’ Application
We get asked about this so much it deserves to be shown here. This error doesn’t mean a lot except that your site is broken. That’s not much help to you figuring out why its broken.
The error page does actually tell you exactly what you need to do to proceed, but for some reason, people don’t read it or think that they should not follow these directions. I remember the first time I ran into this error, and I didn’t follow the directions, so you aren’t alone if that describes you..
Server Error in ‘yourApp’ Application
Step 1:
* Open the web.config file of your application.
* Find ‘customErrors mode=”RemoteOnly” ‘.
Step 2:
Replace “RemoteOnly” with “Off”.
*** It is very important that you use capital “O” and lower case “ff”, as the web.config file is case sensitive, and if you get that wrong, you will continue to get the same error, even if you managed to fix the original error.
Step 3:
Run your application again, and you should now see a different error with the stack trace. This is the same way you would see the error if it was running on your own computer.
Automating a Quicker Exchange 2000 or 2003 / DC reboot
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008Original article here.
You can make the server execute a script at shutdown time by using the Group Policy Editor, which is an MMC (Microsoft Management Console) snap-in. I will explain how to use the Group Policy Editor shortly, but first, we need to create the batch file that will shut down the Exchange services.
