WMIC enabled administrators and developers to manage Windows-based systems locally or remotely through WMI.

In August 2026, Microsoft removed WMIC from Windows 11 versions 24H2 and 25H2; optional reinstallation also disappeared.

WMI remains fully supported; PowerShell provides equivalent commands, but older WMIC scripts must be adapted.

WMIC can be abused, potentially including code execution on remote machines, but its removal does not eliminate WMI-related risks.

A widespread issue is causing Windows domain controllers to crash due to a memory leak introduced with the March 2024 Windows Server security updates.

Affected servers are experiencing freezes because of a memory leak in the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) process introduced with this month's cumulative updates.

Microsoft has identified the root cause of the problem and is actively working on a solution that will be released soon.

To circumvent the severe memory leak issue, Windows admins are advised to uninstall the troublesome updates from their domain controllers until Microsoft releases a fix and if they are not willing to monitor the affected systems' memory usage and reboot them as needed.
