Hey,

A new version of _check\_wmi\_plus_ will be release in a few weeks along with some improvements and the wmic (the package from linux) will not be used any more, solving this issue ‘permanently’…

In the mean time we end up using a python replacement for the linux wmic…:

There’s a ‘how to use’ section, in my case i also have:

- Set python3 as ‘default version’ to be used (update-alternatives)
- Installed _impacket_ with pip
- Adjusted permission and group of `/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/` and `/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/`…

I hope this help
