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 -Silent switch.
    By default, Get-DbaCmObject will throw a terminating exception when connecting to a target is impossible in silent mode.
    Setting this switch will cause it write a non-terminating exception and continue with the next computer.
 
    .PARAMETER Silent
    Replaces user friendly yellow warnings with bloody red exceptions of doom!
    Use this if you want the function to throw terminating errors you want to catch.

    .EXAMPLE
    Get-DbaCmObject win32_OperatingSystem
 
    Retrieves the common operating system informations from the local computer.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Get-DbaCmObject -Computername "sql2014" -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem -Credential $cred -DoNotUse CimRM
 
    Retrieves the common operating system informations 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).
