Try this line instead. I don't know why WMI returned this error however.

' this will force the shutdown of the OS.
Wmic os where primary="1" call win32Shutdown 6

I understand the error now I think.

wmic os where primary="1" call reboot
should work for you too.

The error is returned when the method requires an instance object path
rather than the class object path which is what results if you don't have a
where conditional in the command line.
