Reproducible issues with Get-DbaCmObject

[potatoqualitee]

can repro in our lab

$computer = "sqlb"
$credential = $null
Get-DbaCmObject -ComputerName $computer -Credential $Credential -Namespace root\MSCluster -ClassName MSCluster_Disk

works! fab. let me examine another class.

Get-DbaCmObject -ComputerName $computer -Credential $Credential -Namespace root\MSCluster -ClassName MSCluster_ValidationStatus
WARNING: [12:11:07][Get-DbaCmObject] [sqlb] Unable to find a connection to the target system. Ensure the name is typed correctly, and the server allows any of the following
 protocols: CimRM, CimDCOM | Exception calling "GetConnectionType" with "2" argument(s): "No connectiontypes left to try."

Get-DbaCmObject -ComputerName $computer -Credential $Credential -Namespace root\MSCluster -ClassName MSCluster_Disk

But that just worked? Maybe the server went offline?

Close PS, Open PS

Our caching is too aggressive I guess? I did the above twice with reproducible issues.

Thanks for the update and sorry for the delay, will look into it this evening when I return from work. Looks like there is indeed still some need for improvement 👍 (sorry about the inconvenience)

Thanks so very much, and I totally understand. I know you're super busy and appreciate the time you'll take fixing it.

I'm also curious if we can make the error message more informative. For instance, in our lab, kerberos is super broken on sqlcluster. Cim will give me an informative message, but our cm commands do not:
