I just realized that you, @peterhoeg, were the person who sunsetted the git repository in https://github.com/speartail/checkwmiplus/commit/37fa4f9a671ce1e281e5ac79d2d8cb4425cf7b16. So I guess you know what to do?

peterhoeg commented 5 months ago

This repository has the latest: https://github.com/peterhoeg/checkwmiplus but if anyone is willing to take it on, that would be great as I personally no longer have a need for it.

Version 1.67 seems to add support for doing WMI calls via a proxy: https://github.com/cesbit/aiowmi/tree/main/contrib/wmic_server

So there is a little work ahead to adapt check-wmiplus in nixpkgs to use that.
