Get-WmiObject works on PowerShell 7

 Yeah, a lot of people are saying that you cannot use Get-WmiObject in PowerShell 7 and you must use instead Get-CimInstance. Well, this is true and also not true.


I have PowerShell based WMI scanner to scan all servers in domain to discover disk free space. Some are older Windows versions and Get-CimInstance does not get result back, so I want to use Get-WmiObject -Computername instead.


To enable Get-WmiObject use this command:


Import-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.Management -UseWindowsPowerShell


After that your Get-WmiObject is working
