How to find a user in a specific group using wmi

wmi

I have added a "SearchingUser" user to administrators group of a remote server "RemoteServer".
I am trying to verify the user is added to the server using WMIC and this is the command:

wmic /node:RemoteServer useraccount where "name='SearchingUser' and Domain='domainNameHere'" list

I am sure the user is added but the query result is:

"No Instance(s) Available"

How can I find if the user is added to specified group thru WMI

Thanks

There are some syntax requirements that may fool the request.

If I do not use the full domain name between quotes sais "The rcp server is unavailable"

for me worked:

wmic /node:"ADSERVER01.local" useraccount where Name='Pirulo' GET Name,SID
Else 
/node:"ADSERVER01.local" /User:"DOMAIN\Max" /Password:"SecretPassword" useraccount where Name='Pirulo' GET Name,SID

By the way, if not asking to the Domain Server it will return "Not instance(s) available"

Best Regards
