PowerShell 2 Command To List Only Local Disabled User Accounts

I am restricted to PowerShell version 2, I have crafted a command that lists out all of the accounts in the disabled state:

Get-WmiObject Win32_UserAccount | where{$_.Disabled -eq "True"} | select Name, Disabled

This works well, however, it also lists DC user accounts, I am only trying to query local users.

Is there any way to query only local user accounts in the disabled state?

Old school Windows Tools still work, even from PowerShell regardless of version.

wmic useraccount get Name,Disabled

or

Start-Process powershell -ArgumentList '-NoExit', '-NoProfile', '-Command  &{ "wmic useraccount get Name,Disabled" }'
# Results
<#
Disabled  Name
TRUE      Administrator
...
#>

Update for proof relative to your comment...

...it seems to give me an Invalid GET Expression error message on PowerShell version 2

...

C:\>powershell -version 2.0 -nologo -noprofile
PS C:\> (Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem).Caption

PS C:\> $PSVersionTable
