I hope powershell have a cool module about the network tool ,make them work like tcpdump , netcat in linux.

It's very very cool things , will make me fly in our daily task.

json is becoming the new standard (if not already)
It would be nice to have an import-json and a export-json as we have in xml/csv instead of the two steps process with get-content and convertfrom-json and convertto-json.

Get-ChildItem -LiteralPath doesn't support long path, for example:

Get-ChildItem -LiteralPath 'D:\aaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbccccccccccddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeffffffffffgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiijjjjjjjjjjkkkkkkkkkkllllllllllmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooppppppppppqqqqqqqqqqrrrrrrrrrrssssssssssttttttttttuuuuuuuuuuvvvvvvvvvvwwwwwwwwwwxxxxxxxxxxyyyyyyyyyyzzzzzzzzzz.txt'

Which path is longer than 260 bytes, even if the file DO exists in that path.

But `Get-ChildItem` WITHOUT `-LiteralPath` works well with that long-path file.

The test-dtc command tries to find some firewall rules that isn't present in either Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016 and will not complete it's testing because of this.

In addition, it shouldn't test for firewall rules if firewall is disabled, since the firewall rules doesn't have any impact.

The following firewall rules fails that they are disabled (but they don't exists):
- RPC Endpoint Mapper
- DTC incoming connections
- DTC outgoing connections

Running this command requires domain privileges to reset the computer object password. In cases where the secure channel with a domain controller is already established, a local administrator of a domain computer should have the permission to trigger the password change.

The following command achieves the desired result, albeit not in PowerShell: nltest /sc_change_pwd:[domain]

On a W2016 DC:
When I execute
get-localUser -Name *$
I get 65 Computer accounts

But when I execute

dsquery computer -name * -limit 0
I get the correct 66 Computer accounts

When I run
get-localUser -Name MissingComputerAccount$

I Get an Error
So get-localUser can't handle all accounts

So please fix this

With the "NetAdapter" group why do most of them not accept InterfaceIndex Number for selection? I would like to select my card by its Index so that even if its off / not active I can rename it, change its IP, powersettings etc. Lastly why can we not disable Netbios for the same cards this way?

i like to have intellisense, it means on powershell windows not ise

when I do:
> Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -RRType Ptr -ZoneName 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa -ComputerName mydc1
I get the following properties and corresponding data (output):
HostName RecordType Timestamp TimeToLive RecordData
-------- ---------- --------- ---------- ----------
14 PTR 4/6/2019 1:00:00 PM 00:20:00 someserver.contoso.com.

but when I pipe to select-object in order to filter only certain properties, I am not getting the output that I expect which should correlate to the above output, for example:
> Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -RRType Ptr -ZoneName 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa -ComputerName mydc1 | select -Property RecordData
the output I see is:
DnsServerResourceRecordPtr

I just want a list of FQDN's..

thank you,

Please add the -ComputerName parameter to cmdlets such as Get-Service, Stop-Service, Get-ComputerInfo, Stop-WebAppPool, Start-WebAppPool, Stop-WebAppPool, Start-WebAppPool, Get-WebAppPoolState, etc... Running Invoke-Command with many arguments gets tedious at times and can be inefficient. Ideal, this should be standard in all cmdlets if possible.

we have found some issues using the failoverclusters module builtin Windows Server 2019 when using it against a 2008R2 cluster in the domain. For example, we get this error while trying to Pause a node on a 2008R2 cluster: from a Windows server 2019 box

Suspend-ClusterNode -Cluster cluster1 -Name cluster1node1
Suspend-ClusterNode : An error occurred pausing node 'cluster1node1'.

Is there a way to import Contacts from CSV file to Public Folders in Exchange online?

in PowerShell 5.1.14393.2608 when I run Get-LocalUser * on a Windows Server 2016 Domain Controller I should get a list of all domain user and computer. But the newest Domain joined computer is missing.
Please fix this.
Also when I run Get-LocalUser MyComputer$ and MyComputer is the last domain joined computer I get ObjectNotFound

please add timeout to "Test-NetConnection" see https://superuser.com/q/805621/216033

> When resolving SRV records (example: Resolve-DnsName -Name "_kerberos._tcp.dc._msdcs.$env:userdnsdomain" -Type SRV), the cmdlets also attempts to resolve any returned A or AAAA records and sends them to the pipeline as a separate object collection. This breaks pretty much any attempt to sort, group, filter, or otherwise process the data. How can we make it not return A and AAAA records for SRV queries?

It seems that the WindowsServerBackup powerShell module is not available on Windows 10, although it is written on the Microsoft website, here in particulary: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/? view = win10-ps

Is it a mistake?
I spent a lot of time trying to install this module, but finaly, I dropped.

What a pity !!!
