The current releases of the VxRail Node Image Management (NIM) tool determine the operating system architecture by executing the command wmic os get osarchitecture . This command relies on the Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line (WMIC) utility. WMIC Deprecation Microsoft has announced that the WMIC utility is being deprecated and is disabled by default on newer Windows builds, including Windows 11 24H2 insider editions. When WMIC is unavailable, the NIM tool cannot retrieve the OS architecture, leading to the "Unsupported Current OS version" error. WMIC disabled or removed in recent Windows updates NIM tool lacks an alternative method for architecture detection in affected versions Additional information can be found in the Microsoft blog: Windows Management Instrumentation Command line (WMIC) utility deprecation (External Link) .
This compatibility issue is resolved in NIM versions 7.0.540, 8.0.330, and later releases, which no longer depend on the WMIC utility.
