Within Powershell you can also see when a LOCAL user was last logged in. This can be done with the following one-liner: $([ADSI]”WinNT://$env:COMPUTERNAME”).Children | where {$_.SchemaClassName -eq ‘user’} | ft name,lastlogin example output: name lastlogin —- ——— {localadmin} {28/09/2016 08:57:19} {nx} {05/01/2017 19:52:58} {Visitor}
With Powershell you can also find files which are larger than a certain size. This can be accomplished with the command below. In this example we are looking for files larger than 100MB, on the C drive. Get-ChildItem c:\ -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.Length -gt 100MB}
If you want to test a firewall rule, while the application isn’t ready yet, you can start that port on the Windows server using Powershell. This way you can test the firewall functionality.
