Get-WMIObject Win32_ComputerSystem UserName returns null for RDP user

Question

So I am writing a PowerShell script to pick up some info from domain machines and one of the things that I want to correlate with is logged on user. In theory that is

(Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $CompName -ClassName Win32_ComputerSystem).username

...and it works just fine for locally logged in users. HOWEVER, it returns null for an RDP logged in user and I can't find any other way to get that information.

Has anyone got a clue how to get that info for an RDP logged in User?

This is all Active Directory 2016 with Win 10 1909 or later clients

You can try query user

query user /server:$servername
