GlobalProtect "The virtual adapter was not setup correctly"

Details
Category: Windows Client

When you try to connect with GlobalProtect you recieve the following error:
"The virtual adapter was not set up correctly due to a delay. GlobalProtect will try again soon. If the issue persists, try restarting your system" 
In the end the issue will never resolve it self and restarting doesn't work either.

This issue is caused by the WMI repository becoming  broken/corrupted and will need to be reset or rebuild

First thing to try:

  1. Open a command prompt as an administrator
  2. enter  
    winmgmt /resetrepository
  3. enter 
    msinfo32
  4. If the new window displays information about the system, then the fix worked and GlobalProtect can be used again

if the above doesn't work, a rebuild is required

  1. Open a command prompt as an administrator
  2. Run 
     net stop winmgmt
  3. Go to C:\Windows\System32\wbem and either remove or rename the Repository folder
  4. Back to command prompt, enter 
     net start winmgmt
  5. enter 
     cd C:\Windows\System32\wbem
  6. enter 
    for /f %s in ('dir /b *.mof') do mofcomp %s
  7. enter  
    for /f %s in ('dir /b en-us\*.mfl') do mofcomp en-us\%s
  8. Enter  
    msinfo32
    and check if it displays system information now, if it does then the rebuild worked and GlobalProtect should work again
