I use WMIC to pull logs from remote machines internally. After we upgraded a few machines to Windows 10 2004 it stopped working for those machines and we now getting the following error:

[wmi/wmic.c:196:main()] ERROR: Login to remote object.

NTSTATUS: NT code 0x80010111 - NT code 0x80010111

This indicates that Windows has changed something either in Samba or RPC to prevents WMIC from work. I know that WMIC is not an official Microsoft Product but wanted to know if Microsoft has published anything work arounds for this issue or if they have made any statements confirming changes to samba, RPC, or have acknowledged that WMIC no longer will work with there products?

    WMIC is used widely however this was posted:

    Windows 10 features we're no longer developing

    Windows Management Instrumentation Command line (WMIC) tool.

    The WMIC tool is deprecated in Windows 10, version 21H1 and the 21H1 semi-annual channel release of Windows Server.

    This tool is superseded by Windows PowerShell for WMI.

    Note: This deprecation only applies to the command-line management tool. WMI itself is not affected. 21H1
