Add-NetEventVMSwitch -Name "Network Adapter 2 - Virtual Switch"This example adds a Hyper-V virtual switch as a filter on the Remote Packet Capture provider for a network session. After you complete these commands to configure the network session, you can start and stop the event and packet capture for the network session by using the Start-NetEventSession and Stop-NetEventSession cmdlets. The first command uses the New-NetEventSession cmdlet to create a network session named NESession01. The second command uses the Add-NetEventPacketCaptureProvider cmdlet to add a Remote Packet Capture provider for the session named NESession01. The third command adds a Hyper-V virtual switch as a filter on the Remote Packet Capture provider. Source: Microsoft, CC BY 4.0; transcript prompt/output removed. This example was not executed.
