use process monitor to tell when netsh stops

Under the Config folder of the CAB file you get the following files:Īdapterinfo.txt – All installed network drivers Description, Hardware ID, GUID, Version and ProviderĬonfigData.xml – some useless? data about the CAB fileĭns.txt – Combined output of IPCONFIG /DISPLAYDNS, NETSH NAMESPACE SHOW EFFECTIVE and NETSH NAMESPACE SHOW POLICYĮnvinfo.txt – Detailed info on Wireless & Wired adapters and network profiles.

These are all the network profiles on the machine This contains hardware/process/software information The Report.etl can be viewed in Microsoft Network Monitor. Report (Report.html / Report.xml / Report.xsl / Report.etl).Netsh trace start capture=YES report=YES persistent=YES CAB for easy transportationĪ basic way to start persistent across reboots, circular logging, with report is Ability to generate reports along with packet trace which includes just about everything you need to know related to the network, all gets stored in a single.

SMB / WMI traffic is presented pretty nicely. This also allows us to see MS traffic in “Friendly” translation – i.e.

Packet traces are viewable in Microsoft’s Network Monitor with Windows parser enabled.

Ability to focus monitoring on specific scenario.

Circular logging capability – so you can leave monitoring running indefinitely until issue re-occurs.

Ability to do persistent tracing (Across reboots).

With Windows 7 that is no longer necessary. In the past if you wanted to do network packet tracing you needed to install a tool on end user’s machine such as WireShark or Microsoft Network Monitor. NetSh itself has now become a vastly powerful command line tool – I highly recommend anyone providing support on Windows systems to examine all the options available here. (I think this was included in Vista/Server 2008 but that memory has been erased from my mind)

One of the great advantages of Windows 7/2008 R2 is the built in network tracing capability.
