Windows 2008 Still not detected correctly

[username-is-already-taken2]

Hi there

Sorry to reopen this issue but I just wanted to confirm the status, for windows 2008 support do I need to install the windows management framework 3+ on my boxes?
My local machine detects fine
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> inspec version
0.9.11
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> inspec detect
{"name":null,"family":"windows","release":"10","arch":null}

but when I winrm to 2008 r2 box I get unknown

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> inspec shell -t winrm://***.***.com --user *** --password *** --ssl --self-signed
Welcome to the interactive InSpec Shell
To find out how to use it, type: help
inspec> help
Available commands:
[resource]` - run resource on target machine` help resources - show all available resources that can be used as commands
help [resource]` - information about a specific resource` exit - exit the InSpec shell
You can use resources in this environment to test the target machine. For example:
command('uname -a').stdout
file('/proc/cpuinfo').content => "value",

You are currently running on:
OS family: unknown
OS release: unknown

My server is Windows 2008 R2
C:\Windows\system32>ver
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

@username-is-already-taken2 Your are right, this is not yet fix unless you updated the Windows Management Framework on Windows 2008. This is addressed here: inspec/train#70

Even if the detection has been fixed and do not require powershell, the most windows resources will still require an up-to-date WMF, since we rely on Convert-ToJson a lot. command, file and script will still work though.

brings up again #346

This is solved with inspec/train#70 now
