Somehow on one of Server 2016, a simple WMI query (Get-WmiObject win32_Service) to the "win32_Service" class is taking unexpected time to return the output.
Whereas if I run the same query on the cloned server, I get the result instantly.
I tested the output over PowerShell as well as over 'wbemtest' GUI both and the time involved to show the output is almost the same i.e. > 4 mins.
I tried to enable the WMI trace as well in the event viewer, but do not see any error.
Any help to diagnose the problem would be helpful.
Thank You
