Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure on Windows 11 24H2 and inspect vendor/react/dns/src/Config/Config.php around line 128, where the null warning is reported. Trace how the wmic command is invoked and determine the project-supported behavior when it is unavailable. Done means the reported command failure and resulting warning no longer occur on affected Windows installations.

Description
Hi there,
While testing our software which uses react/dns v1.13.0 on a fresh Windows Installation (Windows 11 24H2, 26100.2605), I encountered the following error:
PS C:\...> expose
'wmic' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
[2024-12-16 11:13:45] production.WARNING: preg_match_all(): Passing null to parameter #2 ($subject) of type string is deprecated in phar://....phar/vendor/react/dns/src/Config/Config.php on line 128
This is probably because Microsoft deprecated WMIC a few years ago and removed it in recent Windows 10/11 versions: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/wmisdk/wmic
My workaround is manually re-installing WMIC as described here:
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/windows-itpro-blog/how-to-install-wmic-feature-on-demand-on-windows-11/4189530
Just wanted to give you a heads-up, as this issue might occur more frequently now that WMIC is no longer included by default.
