How to Disable WMIC on servers

Hi there,

The WMIC tool is deprecated in Windows 10, version 21H1, and the 21H1 General Availability Channel release of Windows Server. This tool is superseded by Windows PowerShell for WMI.

This deprecation only applies to the command-line management tool. WMI itself is not affected

You can create a "Deny" AppLocker rule to prevent users running "C:\Windows\System32\wbem\WMIC.exe"
