An unknown error has occured in the WMI Provider. Error Code 8000000A

Recently while using reporting services configuration editor on a Windows 7 machine I ran into this error. On first look, I thought I was toast and would have to spend oodles of hours trying to fix it. The solution is pretty simple.....run the reporting services configuration editor as an administrator and this annoying error should go away. Would be helpful if Microsoft could put a little hint in the error thrown something like 'Are you running the configuration editor as an administrator?', kinda like the missing assembly reference hint on a typical .Net compile. Dont you agree?
