    PowerShell script hanging in Test-NetConnection


    The following lines of script extracted from a larger one hangs during the Test-NetConnection cmdlet, waiting for an echo reply from the remote address:Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms$x = New-Object 'System.Windows.Forms.Form'Test-NetConnection -ComputerName $ENV:USERDNSDOMAINIf you comment or remove the second line, it works!I've tried this on two separate machines a W10 laptop and a W2016 machine in a different domain with the same effect.The PowerShell versions were 5.1.18362.1714 on W10 and 5.1.14393.4583 on W2016.This seems like a bug to me - am I missing something?

    :)

    Bug in powershell cmdlet Test-NetConnection

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to report bugs.

    I'm using Test-NetConnection to test if a portis open on a remote server.

    Test-NetConnection <server> -port <port#>

    I get a response like this:

    ComputerName : <server>

    RemoteAddress : <server>

    RemotePort : <port#>

    InterfaceAlias : Ethernet

    SourceAddress : 192.168.1.52

    PingSucceeded : False

    PingReplyDetails (RTT) : 0 ms

    TcpTestSucceeded : False

    On the testing server I have defined multiple ipv4 addresses - but only one have Skip as Source set to false (192.168.1.140)

    Unfortunately the SourceAddress in the output uses the old way of selecting SourceAddresses - ie. the address closest to the gateway.

    The environment is 2012R2 std with poweshell

    PowerShell scripts not working with Call operator

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are facing issues while developing a PowerShell script using the Call operator. I would suggest you to refer the articles

    The Windows PowerShell ISE    .



    However, as the issue is related to developing PowerShell scripts, I would suggest you to post your query on

    MSDN forums    , where we have expertise and developers who are well equipped with the knowledge of developing PowerShell scripts in Windows.



    Regards,

    PowerShell script hanging in Test-NetConnection

    Powershell script

    Hi Muhammed DanishM S,

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    I would like to let you know that the Windows PowerShell command-line and scripting language can be used to automate many Group Policy tasks, including configuring registry-based policy settings and various Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) tasks.

    Refer to this article to know more.

    ‘Group Policy Cmdlets in Windows PowerShell’

    For more information, I would suggest you to post your query in
    MSDN Forums    , where we have developers and support professionals who are well-equipped with the knowledge on PowerShell
    scripts to assist you with your query.
