SYMPTOMS

Excessive error entries may be recorded in the Wbemcore.log file if you are using Network Load Balancing (NLB). When this occurs, error entries that are similar to these are recorded:

Error 80041002 occurred executing queued request
CProvReq_CreateInstanceEnumAsync, class=MicrosoftNLB_PortRuleFailover using flags 0x0, provider=Microsoft|NLB_Provider|V1.0
Error 80041002 occurred executing queued request
CProvReq_CreateInstanceEnumAsync, class=MicrosoftNLB_PortRuleDisabled using flags 0x0, provider=Microsoft|NLB_Provider|V1.0

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the NLB Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) provider periodically checks the port rules and logs error entries for undefined rules.
