How to let wmic command(s) that within environment variable can run properly in Powershell window?

In Windows 10 V1703, now right-click on Start button, there shows "Windows PowerShell (Admin)" which replaced old "Command Prompt (Admin)".





In a PowerShell window, can run well the below command:

net user $env:UserName





Now in Cortana's search box type "cmd", then right-click "Command Prompt", click "Run as administrator", open a "Command Prompt (Admin)" window,





can run well the below command in it:

net user %UserName%





This indicates that the environment variable $env:UserName in PS is equal to %UserName% in CMD.

And, in a "Command Prompt (Admin)" window, can run well the below two commands in it:

Get the current account's username:

wmic useraccount where name="%UserName%" get Name





View a specific user account info list:

wmic useraccount where name="[username]" list

for example, list my user account:

wmic useraccount where name="" list





Now in a PowerShell window, I try to run the following commands, but all have failed:

wmic useraccount where name="$env:UserName" get Name

wmic useraccount where name=$env:UserName get Name

wmic useraccount where name="" list

wmic useraccount where name= list

Please tell me,

which PowerShell scripts are equal to the CMD commands --

wmic useraccount where name="[username]" list

and

wmic useraccount where name="%UserName%" get Name?
