Deprecated in Favor of CIM

"Windows PowerShell ships by default with cmdlets for working with other technologies such as Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). The WMI cmdlets are deprecated and are not available in PowerShell 6+, but are covered here as you may encounter them in older scripts running on Windows PowerShell. For new development, use the CIM cmdlets instead."

WARNING: WMIC is deprecated, in favor of PowerShell WMI which was deprecated in favor of PowerShell CMI ! (warning from "wmic /?")

This utility is superseded by Windows PowerShell for WMI; see Chapter 7 - Working with WMI.
