function Get-DbaCmObject {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Retrieves Wmi/Cim-Style information from computers.
 
        .DESCRIPTION
            This function centralizes all requests for information retrieved from Get-WmiObject or Get-CimInstance.
            It uses different protocols as available in this order:
            - Cim over WinRM
            - Cim over DCOM
            - Wmi
            - Wmi over PowerShell Remoting
            It remembers channels that didn't work and will henceforth avoid them. It remembers invalid credentials and will avoid reusing them.
            Much of its behavior can be configured using Test-DbaWmConnection.
 
        .PARAMETER ClassName
            The name of the class to retrieve.
 
        .PARAMETER Query
            The Wmi/Cim query tu run against the server.
 
        .PARAMETER ComputerName
            The computer(s) to connect to. Defaults to localhost.
 
        .PARAMETER Credential
            Credentials to use. Invalid credentials will be stored in a credentials cache and not be reused.
 
        .PARAMETER Namespace
            The namespace of the class to use.
 
        .PARAMETER DoNotUse
            Connection Protocols that should not be used.
 
        .PARAMETER Force
            Overrides some checks that might otherwise halt execution as a precaution
            - Ignores timeout on bad connections
 
        .PARAMETER SilentlyContinue
            Use in conjunction with the -EnableException switch.
            By default, Get-DbaCmObject will throw a terminating exception when connecting to a target is impossible in exception enabled mode.
            Setting this switch will cause it write a non-terminating exception and continue with the next computer.
 
        .PARAMETER EnableException
            By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
            This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
            Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.

        .EXAMPLE
            Get-DbaCmObject win32_OperatingSystem
 
            Retrieves the common operating system information from the local computer.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Get-DbaCmObject -Computername "sql2014" -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem -Credential $cred -DoNotUse CimRM
 
            Retrieves the common operating system information from the server sql2014.
            It will use the credewntials stored in $cred to connect, unless they are known to not work, in which case they will default to windows credentials (unless another default has been set).
