User is encountering error when trying to create clone

STB

I (an admin) created an image and then created a clone on my local instance of SQL.  Another (standard) user tried to create a clone from my image and recieved the following error:  Operation 1786 failed with general exception System.Management.ManagementException: Invalid namespace .
I did add that user to the people who could use that image.  Not sure how to address the problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi All, 

The functionality provided by the System.Management namespace is dependent upon the WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) service.

The Invalid namespace error suggests that there is an issue with the WMI service. For troubleshooting purposes, you can verify that using the Administrative Tools → Services utility.

You can wrap the code in a try-catch block and use the ServiceController class to start and stop the appropriate service.
