Hi @slove,

Based on this post, it looks like this issue is likely caused by a windows patch that breaks the WMI wizard / plugin. As the WMI wizard is deprecated and will not be updated to address changes that windows makes, I suggest trying to accomplish this via NCPA (like one of the users in the linked post was able to) or perhaps via the Windows SSH wizard. We are also working on making a WINRM wizard but I cannot give a specific timeline for that, but you can keep an eye on our changelog if you like.

Please let us know if you are able to find a workaround and if you have any additional questions.

Thank you!
