Hope someone can answer my additional questions:

For now I disabled the pegasus service. As far as I can see everything is still working fine.

Is there really a need for running the pegasus service? Are there any VMware, HP, IBM, Dell components making use of Pegasus?
Security-wise wouldnt it be best to run as few as possible services?

Greets,

Bill

I suspect that it was a good code distro up until 3.0.1 and then the issue surfaced. It not a serious problem since it is not used by very many shops. However it does make you wait longer for a system to come up.

As well the service was not functionally impacted by the MOF compiler scripts. It was still working but could not be correctly updated using the error'd script.

In Jason's case he indicated it was still not resolved with the corrected script directives and file copy.
