Problem:

In our cluster environment I was testing SQL failover, when I failed over to passive node I can no longer launch SQL Server configuration manager (SSCM). When I tried to open SSCM, MMC has waited for 30 seconds and gave me the error below.

“Connection to target machine could not be made in a timely fashion”

Resolution:

Upon researching on this I found that WMI Service (Windows Management Instrumentation Service) is in hanged state. After restarting the service on passive node, it worked for me. Steps to restart the service is below.

• Go to Run –> type services.msc and press enter
• Right click on the service “Windows Management Instrumentation” and click on restart option in the menu
• Now launch SQL Server configuration manager, it should work fine now.
