Possible solution. Replace get-wmiobject with get-ciminstance Source: https://forums.powershell.org/t/powershell-7-is-missing-get-wmiobject/14011/4

in PowerHunt.psm1 (line 272)

                # Get service status
#                $ServiceStatus = Get-WmiObject -Class win32_service | Where-Object {$_.name -like "WinRM"}
                $ServiceStatus = Get-ciminstance -Class win32_service | Where-Object {$_.name -like "WinRM"}

Unfortunately, it then fails later with:

-------------------------------------------

Sorry the delay in getting back to you on this. I didn't test this with v7 so I'll have to add that to my backlog and make some tweaks. Thank you for sharing the feedback. I'll let you know when I have it wrapped up.
