TUN interface DNSDOMAIN missing on Windows11 24H2

[MyOrk64]

OpenVPN is trying to use wmic.exe to configue DNSDOMAIN for tun interfaces.
In Windows 11 wmic is deprecated and can not be added.
This is not working anymore.

Errors are logged:
2024-11-13 07:29:23 WMIC: C:\windows\system32\wbem\wmic.exe nicconfig where (InterfaceIndex=17) call SetDNSDomain 'nothing.net'
2024-11-13 07:29:23 openvpn_execve: CreateProcess C:\windows\system32\wbem\wmic.exe failed: Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden. (errno=2)

• OS: Windows 11 24H2
• OpenVPN version: 2.6.12

My personal workaround is an elevated powershell command for setting it up fixed DNSDOMAIN per interface:
Set-DnsClient -InterfaceIndex 17 -ConnectionSpecificSuffix "nothing.net"

WMI infrastructure is still there but it seems wmic commandline is deprecated -- I think it can be installed manually on Win11 still.
An option is to replace it with the powershell command Set-DnsClient as shown by @MyOrk64 . Is this available on all Win OS versions we support? Win7 compatibility can be broken, probably, but what about some early releases of Win10? Alternative is to edit the registry but I recall some issues with it -- like not immediately effective or some such.
