Installing WMIC on Ubuntu 16.04

Step 1 – Install building applications

sudo apt-get install autoconf make gcc libdatetime-perl build-essential g++ python-dev

Step 2 – Download the ‘wmic’ source

cd ~
wget http://www.opsview.com/sites/default/files/wmi-1.3.16.tar_.bz2

Step 3 – Untar the source

tar -xvf wmi-1.3.16.tar_.bz2

Step 4 – Go into the directory

cd wmi-1.3.16

Step 5 – Edit Samba/source/pidl/pidl and remove Line 583

nano Samba/source/pidl/pidl
remove Line 583 (not sure how to do it short hand)

Step 6 – Compile and grab a butty as will take a few minutes

sudo sh -c "ulimit -n 100000 && export ZENHOME=/usr && make \"CPP=gcc -E -ffreestanding\" "

Step 7 – Move binary into /bin

sudo cp Samba/source/bin/wmic /bin

Step 8 – Test wmic

#Test it 
wmic --workgroup=DOMAIN --user=USER --password=PASSWORD //SERVER.DOMAIN.COM "SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem"

#Output should be similar to this:
