Can you try this:
############ .\WMIList.config ###########
Win32_Fan;Blubb
#Win32_Share;Blubber
Win32_Share;Blubber
#Win32_Share;Blubber
############ .\WMIList.config ###########
cat C:\Scripts\temp\WMIList.config | where {$_.substring(0,1) -ne "#"} |
foreach {
$strWMIClassName = $_.substring(0,$_.indexOf(";"))
$strWMIClassName
#get-wmiobject -class $strWMIClassName
}
# output #
Win32_Fan
Win32_Share
