Went through many posts online, none worked for my issue.

Ended up Restoring Default Policy in the "Advanced Firewall with Advanced Security" and voila.

Although it could have been a multi-step repair, as I had originally deleted the REPOSITORY folder under windows\system32\wbem, which didn't fix this issue, BUT did fix an updates reporting issue I was having in the SBS Console.

The firewall service has to be on; and your default action for inbound can't be to allow all (which is probably not the case right now). Open Advanced Firewall Settings MMC and check the settings.

In this case I usually just use netsh netsh firewall set opmode mode=disable This should still work on 2k8sbe or just use ? for help
