You could try the following, I've not got a nano server to try it out on. Drop the select if it gets you something else and see if what you want is stored under a different property in Server 2016 Nano

Get-CIMInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem -Property * | select caption

When tested on a real Nano instance the -session parameter was not needed, but if you need it at some future date, here's the variant with -session:

$cuser = "Your username"
$cservername = "Your Servername"
$csession = New-CimSession –Credential $cuser –ComputerName $cservername
Get-CIMInstance –session $csession -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem -Property * | select caption
