Trying to get number of cores remotely

I am trying to get the number of cores for multiple windows computers/servers across our Domain. There is Windows 2008R2, Windows 2012, Windows 2016, and Windows 10. When I open a CMD and type

wmic /NODE:"Hostname" /USER:"Domain\AdminAcoount" OS GET numberofcores

I get

Node - Hostname
ERROR:
Description = Invalid query

Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

The number of cores is part of the CPU, not the OS.

C:\>wmic /NODE:localhost cpu get NumberOfCores, NumberOfLogicalProcessors
NumberOfCores  NumberOfLogicalProcessors
4              8

When you are ready to step up to PowerShell.

PS C:\> Get-WmiObject Win32_Processor | Select-Object -Property NumberOfCores

NumberOfCores
-------------
            4

Or, from withing a cmd .bat script.

C:\>powershell -NoProfile -Command "& { Get-WmiObject Win32_Processor | Select-Object -Property NumberOfCores }"

NumberOfCores
-------------
            4
