Timeout Get-WMIObject cmdlet

Question

I run a script which performs many WMI-querys - but the cmdlet hangs if the server doesn\'t answer.. Is there any way I can make this (or any other cmndlet for that matter)

Answer 1

The only two solutions I've seen for this problem are:

1. Run the queries as background jobs and put a timer on them, then stop/remove the jobs that run too long.

2. Fix your servers.
