after some time I start getting these errors:
3 Dec 2010 11:52 AM WMI GetInstances: root\cimv2 select Name,State,StartMode from Win32_Service Cannot connect COMException
and then monitoring for a server stops.
I also see these errors all the time:
3 Dec 2010 11:52 AM WMI GetInstances: root\cimv2 select Handle,CreationDate,ProcessId from Win32_Process where CreationDate = '20101203195242.588801+000' and ProcessId = 8196 Cannot connect ManagementException Out of memory

We have a help page dedicated to troubleshooting our various data collection methods. It's worth trying the 'Testing WMI' section for any servers that are getting this problem. This should highlight whether it's a configuration issue or not.

I can point you to a Microsoft hotfix if it is the same OS.

Here is the hotfix.

I grabbed that hotfix and have it applied. We'll see if the error goes away, but it definitely looks to be a match.
I also ran across this WMI memory leak article. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977357
