That always exist struggle between correctness and efficiency , and not
always correct ( secure in this case ) behaviour is first topic requirement.
E.g. in closed lan system ( embedded and/or RT ) that very common practice

WMI won't help a bit because it will require to authenticate too. [If
there is some kind of hack to do it with WMI this would be a security hole
which MS will sooner or later close]. The problem is fundamental and has
nothing to do with the mechanism used to perform the query.

Also note that the suggestion to install an "agent" on the host that would
answer unauthenticated queries is simply opening a security hole. Which is
asking for trouble.
