Yeah, and I bet not a single admin has ever used this feature. It’s obscure, barely works, arguably causes more problems than it solves, and there are many other tools that fulfill the same use case, better.
This is one of those things I learned about because it wss in a textbook then never used again. The two or three times I asked about using as part of a solution at work, I got either a confused look or a “good joke” reaction.
That was close to ten years ago. This is the first I’m hearing about them since then.
never even heard of wmic. looked it up and it’s just been superseded by a new tool. this is barely even news, but neowin had to title the article like it’s a big deal.
