Need your wifi info? There is a Powershell script for that.

I spent some time cleaning up my laptop the other day which included removing unused programs and files. It then hit me that I probably had a bunch of wifi profiles that I don't need anymore so I thought about writing a script to call the netsh command to output this info. After working on this for about an hour and finally having a crude Powershell command that did output me this info I did a search and sure enough someone else had already wrote on. Anyways, here is the command I came up with and a link to the script I found.



PS C:\Windows\system32> netsh wlan show profiles | Select-String -Pattern "All User Profile"  | ForEach-Object {$_.ToString()} | ForEach-Object {$_.Replace("    All User Profile     : ",$null)} | ForEach-Object {netsh wlan show profile name=$_ key=clear} | Format-List

And now for something completely different...

Well I guess it's time to start this back up.

Been awhile hasn't it.
