Need to test the network client?

PS (6) > Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkClient

__GENUS          : 2
__CLASS          : Win32_NetworkClient
__SUPERCLASS     : CIM_LogicalElement
__DYNASTY        : CIM_ManagedSystemElement
__RELPATH        : Win32_NetworkClient.Name="Microsoft Windows Network"
__PROPERTY_COUNT : 6
__DERIVATION     : {CIM_LogicalElement, CIM_ManagedSystemElement}
__SERVER         : RSLAPTOP01
__NAMESPACE      : root\cimv2
__PATH           : \\RSLAPTOP01\root\cimv2:Win32_NetworkClient.Name="Microsoft Windows Network"

In a pure Windows environment this won’t give much but if you have a heterogeneous environment with other network clients in the mix it could be useful.
