Getting Files Info from Remote Server where WinRM is disabled

PowerShell Help
1

Hi All,

I need to collect a particular file size info from multiple servers, whereas in our domain environment WinRM service is disabled, so unable to use the invoke command and unable to initiate remote PSSession. Test-WSman is also failing.

Unable to find any WMI class which I can use to extract the info, as for testing if I am using “gwmi -Class win32_logicaldisk” command to get the disk space from remote server its working and giving the required output also.

2 
$File = 'C:\Windows\explorer.exe'.Replace('\', '\\')
Get-CimInstance -ClassName CIM_DataFile -Filter "Name='$File'" |
    Select-Object -Property Name, FileSize

Try to use this with the parameter -CimSession to get the info from your remote servers.

Thanks Olaf for your support. When I tried to create New-Cimsession getting credentials error, tried -Authentication parameter also, but no success.

Since Get-CimInstance don’t have the -Credentials Parameter, I tried with Get-WmiObject and it worked, got the required output.

Earlier also I tried this class but got confused with Filter parameter, can you help me with this parameter details as could not find much info on it.
