Another Open Minded Common Sense (OMCS) Toolset. These are meant to be for the normal user and run without admin credentials.
Or Self help for the normal user.
The scripts can be used seperatly or you can install and import the ITPS.OMCS.SELFHELP as a module.
Test-TheInternet.ps1 - This came about after trying to walk people through the standard troubleshooting steps of IPCONFIG and PINGing the gateway.
Convert-IPAddresstoBinary.ps1 - Although you can find online tools for this, it was fun.
Move-Cursor.ps1 - Needed at some point and found online. It is really here to build out this toolbox, but might not stay.
Test-AuthentationServer.ps1 - This is an overcomplicated version of $env:LOGONSERVER.
Gathers information about the network, network card and network path. Then "pings" those IP Addresses. I attempted to provide a little sense of order, so that it pings from the local machine outward. The script provides an output to the console and text file.
