I suggest to test SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 3 in test environment & then move to Production after satisfactory results.

Issue : I am facing error “The remote procedure call failed. [0x800706be]” while trying to view SQL Services from SQL Server Configuration Manager.

Steps I perform to resolve the issue, Seems to be a WMI error :-

1) If using Window Server 2008 & above, Run command from command prompt to verify WMI repository : winmgmt /verifyrepository

If you got any error, Please contact your OS team for WMI rebuild.

2) Recompiled the MOF file –> mofcomp.exe "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Sharedsqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"

3) Re-registered the SQL Server provider DLL –> regsvr32 "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Sharedsqlmgmprovider.dll"

4) Your issue should be resolved now. If you still face same issue that means there are chances that you may be running with different versions of SQL Server. If yes, Please try to patch SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) with latest available Service pack.

The 12th cumulative update release for SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 is now available for download at the Microsoft Support site. Cumulative Update 12 contains all the hotfixes released since the initial release of SQL Server 2012 SP1.

Those who are facing severe issues with their environment, they can plan to test CU12 in test environment & then move to Production after satisfactory results.

Although, I prefer to have SP2 with latest CU in your environment.
