I am able to use Get-CimInstance Win32_UserAccount to list users on remote computers. Once I get the users, I would like to rename the administrator account. Below is the code but it does not work. Any tips on making this work?
$hostname = "SERVER1"
$newname = "Server_Admin"
$administrator = Get-CimInstance Win32_UserAccount -ComputerName $hostname |
where SID -like 'S-1-5-*-500' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$oldname = $administrator.Name
$oldname.Rename($newname)
Above command failed with the error
Method invocation failed because [System.String] does not contain a method named 'rename'.
Using Set-CimInstance
Set-CimInstance -InputObject $administrator -Property @name=$newname -PassThru
gives an error
Could not modify readonly property 'name' of object 'Win32_UserAccount"
PowerShell version used is 5.1.

in that use case, the CIM cmdlet DOES NOT return a live object. there is NO .Rename() method attached to that object.
however, the WMI cmdlet DOES return a live object with a .Rename() method. so ... use Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_UserAccount instead of Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_UserAccount. [grin]
