Recovery of WMI: Initialization failure error

WMI: Initialization failure error

Question | Does anyone know what could cause WMI: Initialization failure error to start happening:

| WMI: Initialization failure

| Login failed to machine "myserver".
| I noticed that recently that my backups started failing becuase of some| WMI errors, so I tried to connect to these problems servers via WMI CIM| Studio and this is the error that I get. I'm pretty sure whatever is| causing this error is also causing the error in the backups, and these| servers were working properly for quite a while (about two years), I| don't think aything has changed recently, and i know that the WMI| service is running on the servers that are triggering this error.
