As a follow up to the Tableua Connector .taco question.

Not within the current TACO connector.

Your connector’s TypeScript code runs only after Tableau EPS launches the connector window. The WMIC failure occurs inside Tableau EPS before index.ts, MyFetcher.ts, or MyParser.ts runs.

Using PowerShell/WMI would require Tableau to update EPS itself. You cannot replace that behavior through:

• connector.json
• index.ts
• the fetcher
• the parser
• JavaScript inside the .taco file

Microsoft’s recommended migration applies to software whose source code you control. Tableau would need to change its EPS implementation to use PowerShell or WMI APIs. support.microsoft.com

For now, the practical choices are:

1. Use Microsoft’s temporary WMIC package.
2. Install a Tableau version whose EPS supports the WMIC removal.
3. Run Tableau on an older Windows environment where WMIC exists.
