I like to test my network connections to see if they're reliable and what the capacity really is. There's a PowerShell module for that with some nice options and reporting: Invoke-NetStress 🙂
Ever needed to start a web server without installing IIS or a similar web server? Then the Webserver PowerShell Module could be something for you 🙂 In this blog post, I will show you how it works.
Testing enabled SSL and TLS protocols on servers is something I have to do for hardening and security purposes. Of course, you can do that using PowerShell with the Test-TlsProtocols Module from TechnologyAnimal 🙂 In this blog post, I will show you how.
I still do some networking, although not as much as I did during my CCNP certification, and I eventually memorized subnet calculations. That, and using IP Calculators 😉 In this blog post, I will show you how you can use Chris Dent's PowerShell module for that.
I just moved to my new house and reconfigured all my network equipment. I wanted to know which MAC address belongs to which Vendor and the corresponding IP details, as well as the open ports. In this blog post, I will demonstrate how to use Get-NetNeighbor and NMAP for this purpose.
Collecting enough logs and information from a system with networking issues can be difficult. You always need just one more to troubleshoot the problem. 😉 In this blog post, I will show you how the built-in Get-NetView module can help you collect all the necessary logs and information.
I use PiHole for Ad-blocking at home, and yes, sometimes that causes some issues if it blocks Microsoft (Or other) management addresses. In this blog post, I will show how you can live-track blocked DNS queries and get some insights while troubleshooting 🙂
There are articles and forum posts from people who upgraded to Windows 11 24H2 and are experiencing Wi-Fi issues. In this blog post, I will share an Intune Remediation script that may resolve the issue on your devices.
One of our customers had issues authenticating clients using NPS. One of the first things you do is... I read the NPS logs, and they were DTS Compliant formatted, a bit of a pain to read and search 🙁 So, I used PowerShell to create a nice log for me in either a GridView or an Excel file. In this blog post, I will show you how!
During migration projects, I regularly change the DNS server settings of statically configured adapters on servers. (For clients, you can change the DHCP settings, and they will receive the new settings when the lease expires) For servers, it can be a lot of work doing it manually. In this blog post, I will show you how to automate that 🙂
