No Re-implementing Microsoft's WMIC binary in Rust with full backward compatibility requires deep low-level Windows COM/WMI internal API knowledge and systems programming skills.
What it would actually take: Requires interfacing directly with Windows COM interfaces (IWbemServices, IWbemLocator) via Rust FFI (e.g., windows-rs), reverse-engineering undocumented legacy WMIC CLI syntax, parsing WQL queries, and handling custom COM security contexts and remote host credentials.
