Get-WmiObject error on asdk-prechecker

Question

Hi there,

We've prepared a server to install and trial ASDK, when running asdk-prechecker.ps1 (https://github.com/Azure/AzureStack-Tools/tree/master/Deployment) on the server (with PowerShell 7.2.1) , it pops below error, it's appreciate if someone can share and advise the way to fix/upgrade the script, thanks.

'Get-WmiObject' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet  

How to reproduce the issue: re-run the script

Potential root cause: Get-WmiObject deprecated in PowerShell core, need to use CIM cmdlets

Answer 1

Hello @Robin Cai ,

Yes, Get-WmiObject have been deprecated in PowerShell Core. If it's PowerShell 6+, WMI cmdlets don't work and the recommendation is to use the CIM cmdlets which can basically do the same thing. It will work with PS 5.1

Let me know if your question is already answered or if you have any further queries?
