Here’s a tip from my colleague Ed Wilson (the Microsoft Scripting Guy) about how to use PowerShell to find which protocols are bound to your network adapters.
Question: How can you use Windows PowerShell to show which enabled protocols are bound to your network adapters using Windows 8.1 and PowerShell 4.0?
Answer: Use the Get-Netadapter cmdlet to retrieve all of the network adapters on your system. Then pipeline it to the Get-NetAdapterBinding cmdlet and filter on enabled is equal to true. This command appears here:
Get-NetAdapter | Get-NetAdapterBinding | ? enabled -eq $true
