Parameters

-AsJob: Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
-AssociatedCaptureTarget: Specifies the associated capture target as a CIM object. The capture target is one of the three following objects: - MSFT_NetEventNetworkAdapter - MSFT_NetEventVmNetworkAdapter - MSFT_NetEventVmSwitch To obtain a capture target, use the Get-NetEventNetworkAdapter cmdlet, the Get-NetEventVmNetworkAdapter cmdlet, or the Get-NetEventVmSwitch cmdlet.
-AssociatedEventSession: Specifies the associated network event session, as a CIM object. To obtain the network event session, use the Get-NetEventSession cmdlet.
-CimSession: Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
-Name: Specifies an array of names that identify ETW providers.
-ShowInstalled: Indicates that the cmdlet displays all ETW providers that are installed on the computer.
-ThrottleLimit: Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Prerequisites

Windows with the NetEventPacketCapture module and the Windows feature or management tools that provide it. Confirm target connectivity and version compatibility using the linked Microsoft reference.
