Sorry, not sure what I was thinking but I'm mixing up two separate issues here.
Ivan's answer below is applicable and correct. Is there a reason you want to do WMF 3.0 right now though; i.e., why isn't PowerShell 2.0 sufficient? Or alternatively, adding PowerShell 3.0 to the site systems/servers right now doesn't give you any additional ConfigMgr centric capabilities so why not just install that on your workstation to continue your learning and not play with fire? You'll still be able to connect to the server (via WMI) and do everything that you need.

The update which was included in the re-released media fixes the issue.

For every computer with WMF 3.0 where you have CCMEVAL set to Repair if it finds an issue (which is the default), if a WMI repair is initiated by the CCMEVAL it will corrupt WMI. This is because WMF 3.0 is makes fundamental and permanent changes to WMI that the SCCM client RTM can't handle. This is fixed in SP1 as Jason stated. We have disabled the repair part of CCMEval at install time with a regkey change on all computers pushed via GPO. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CCM\CcmEval\NotifyOnly=True We may have needed to create the key, I don't recall.

Not on SP1 *yet*. Plan to deploy SP1 and R2 in tandem rather than risk breaking things twice in such a short window.

If so, this is all OOBE (as long as you've downloaded the updated media from Jan 24th I think).

I'm aware of this KB about the known issues on MP's after installing WMF 3.0: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2796086 However, it specifically says "management points that are collocated with the client fail daily by returning HTTP 500 errors to calling clients". Does that mean that if I do not have the CM client installed on the management point, the ccmeval doesn't run (would make sense, since there is no client installed), consequently doesn't fail, no repair is initiated, and the MP functions normally? I would assume so (especially given that WMF 3.0 is a prerequisite for SP1, and SP1 is required for WMF 3.0 support from what I've seen), but I'd like to get some confirmation since it doesn't explicitly say.
