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.

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 !!!

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/servercore/get-displayresolution?view=win10-ps

I know this says servercore. But I can't believe the ability to set the display resolution via Powershell should be in the realm of Servers only.
1) Can someone confirm if indeed you can do this on Windows 10? 2) And if so, how do I get the module to import.
When I have tried
Import-Module -Name servercore
I get the following:
PS Env:\> Import-Module -Name servercore
Import-Module : The specified module 'servercore' was not loaded because no valid module file was
found in any module directory.

How to create external trust relationships between two domains, such as aaa.com and bbb.com. I haven't seen a similar demo for two days.
Looking forward to your reply.

Potential bug in the Get-ADUser commandlet when querying a remote forest:

$myForest | Get-ADUser -filter *
$myForest[0] # <-- this doesn't reach back to a DC to return the user

$remoteForest | Get-ADUser -filter * -server dc1.remoteforest.com
$remoteForest[0] # <-- this will call back to a DC to fetch the user even though it's been successfully retrieved in the previous line

See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54790231/get-aduser-not-caching-results for a better explanation.

The optional parameter "-ComputerUpdateStatus" does not filter at all and instead returns all computers.

When setting a database offline, the T-SQL command executed is a simple ALTER DATABASE <DbName> SET OFFLINE, and will wait if there are running transactions or connected users. To force that, it requires the possibility to add the ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE. The Alter() method allows to do that but not the SetOffline() method

Running Add-Type with a .EXE assembly gives, 'Cannot add type. The ".EXE" extension is not supported'. But it works if I rename the assembly to .DLL. I think this limitation is artificial and should be removed.

The help text for the -Name parameter of Get-Help says:
"...If you enter a word that does not match any help topic titles, Get-Help displays a list of topics that include that word in their contents."

Example:
PS> Get-Help exit

Only returned two cmdlets that have the word 'exit' in their name.

PS> Get-Help exit -Category HelpFile

Returns about_* topics where the word 'exit' is found.
