I love that part of my job is helping people out in the forums as ScriptingAnswers.com. A recent post asked about finding out what network drives were mapped on a remote computer using PowerShell. The task sounded familiar so I poked around my script pile and found an old VBScript that used WMI and the Win32_NetworkConnection class. Great. Get-WMIObject to the rescue:
Get-WMIObject win32_networkconnection -computername Desk23
You even get a nicely formatted summary. But you me, I can't resist tinkering so I wrote a function that enhances this basic command I call Get-NetConnection

A few days ago I blogged about packet sniffer PowerShell script. Needless to say I was intrigued and spent some time dissecting to better understand it. Don't worry, no PowerShell scripts were harmed during this operation. This is a nifty piece of PowerShell coding. Of course I'm never one to leave well enough alone so I had to add a few touches which I hope the original author doesn't mind.

I came across a wicked PowerShell script (Trends in Technology: Powershell: IP Packet Sniffer Script ) that is essentially a PowerShell packet sniffer. How cool is that! It certainly won't replace full blown sniffers like WireShark but I love having a PowerShell window open watching packets. Yea, I need to get out more.
