Package Copy Failure while using Windows Server 2008 as DP in SCCM 2007

I came across the below error when I was  distributing packages on one of the secondary site servers.

ERROR DPConnection::ConnectWMI() – Failed to connect to (servername). error = 0x8004100e SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER
( this is in distmgr.log)

This issue is  because of wmi compatibility  with IIS 6 and the solution I found was to add  the IIS 6 WMI Compatibility service as shown in the below image. Hope this helps.
