Powershell: The term 'Get-WmiObject' is not recognized

[chucklu]

Hi ,
I find Getting WMI Objects (Get-WmiObject) ,and try to use it.
But the powershell can not recognize it.

Steps to reproduce

 Get-WmiObject -List

Expected behavior

__SecurityRelatedClass                  __NTLMUser9X
__PARAMETERS                            __SystemSecurity
__NotifyStatus                          __ExtendedStatus
Win32_PrivilegesStatus                  Win32_TSNetworkAdapterSettingError
Win32_TSRemoteControlSettingError       Win32_TSEnvironmentSettingError
...

Actual behavior

Get-WmiObject : The term 'Get-WmiObject' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable
program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Btw, the command works in this version,which come with win10

PS C:\Users\clu> $PSVersionTable

Get-WmiObject have been deprecated in PowerShell Core. Please use CIM cmdlets.

@iSazonov what did you mean by CIM?
It seems cim can not be recognized too.

PS C:\Program Files\PowerShell\6.0.0-beta.6> cim win32_service -Filter "name='LBS_MONITOR'"
cim : The term 'cim' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the s
pelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

@iSazonov thanks,I have google CIM, and find the docs

[chucklu]

finally, I come with this command

Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Service -Filter "name='LISA_43_Dev_Batch'" | select Name,DisplayName,StartMode,State,StartName,SystemName,Description |Format-Table -AutoSize

@chucklu - Are you asking a question about this command? Does it work as you expected? Can this issue be closed?
BTW, did you ever work at Novell?

[chucklu]

@Liturgist no problem now, and this issue can be closed.
I am in China, have no idea about Novell.
