Win10/64: Batch File To Get Date Broken

Hi! I have a batch file to back up my source code and another to get the current date. The latter stopped working. Attached is the batch file to get the date. Any ideas on what's wrong?

 

It works fine to get the date.

Code:

@echo off
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%a in ('wmic OS Get localdatetime /value') do set "dt=%%a"
set DATE2=%dt:~0,4%-%dt:~4,2%-%dt:~6,2%
echo %DATE2%
pause>nul

output: 2021-05-21

 

When I run the file, I get:

Code:

C:\MyPrgs\Batch>"Backup Date in DATE2"
Node - HARRYPOTTER1
ERROR:
Description = Invalid class

C:\MyPrgs\Batch>

 

Open Command prompt and paste in: wmic OS Get localdatetime /value

Do you get an error or output like: LocalDateTime=20210522004359.755000+600

If that throws an error, you may need to rebuild the WMI repository.

I get the same error. I'll try your suggestion.

 

I tried downloading the suggested file and got an error message stating that I should disable a firewall. I don't think I have a firewall, but, if I do, how do I add an exception? I have Win10/64 and use Speed Browser, don't know what version.

 

Did you try using the manual instructions in that article?
1] Reset WMI Repository and 2] Force Recover WMI

 

I read the article. It didn't list my exact problem.

 

Your error is listed in point 3 - 0x80041010 WBEM_E_INVALID_CLASS

 

The command on the page tells me "WMI repository is consistent."

 

Basically, you're going to have to research the problem yourself and use trial and error. My WMI isn't corrupt or throwing the same error, so I can't really say for certain what will work
If it was me, I'd try searching https://www.google.com/search?q=win...57j0i22i30.16853j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

If all else failed, I'd do a repair installation - https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/16397-repair-install-windows-10-place-upgrade.html

You can get all ISO's including the latest 21H1 at TechBench: https://tb.rg-adguard.net/public.php

 

I don't want to rebuild everything. Apparently, the problem is with a namespace that belongs to me--the name is HARRYPOTTER1. Is there a way to use a different namespace to get the current date? I can post the batch file on request.
