Get-Net Qos Policy

Module:
netqos
Retrieves network Quality of Service (QoS) policies.

Syntax 

Get-NetQosPolicy
   [[-Name] <String[]>]
   [-PolicyStore <String>]
   [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
   [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
   [-AsJob]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Get-NetQosPolicy cmdlet allows users to retrieve Quality of Service (QoS) policies from a computer. QoS policies can originate from many sources, such as from the administrator of a local computer, from a domain controller, or from applications that use the QoS Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) APIs. Therefore, the QoS policies are stored in different locations. If the location as provided by the PolicyStore parameter is not specified, then this cmdlet retrieves all the policies stored on the local computer (localhost).

ActiveStore is a special location. If ActiveStore is specified as the location, the user will see all the effective QoS policies, regardless of where the QoS policies are stored.

Examples

Example 1: Get the QoS policies of localhost 

PS C:\> Get-NetQoSPolicy
Name           : Backup 
Owner          : Group Policy (Machine) 
NetworkProfile : Domain 
Precedence     : 127 
IPProtocol     : Both 
IPDstPrefix    : 10.1.1.176/28 
DSCPValue      : 40 

Name               : ntttcp 1 
Owner              : Group Policy (Machine) 
NetworkProfile     : All 
Precedence         : 127 
AppPathName        : ntttcp.exe 
MinBandwidthWeight : 30 

Name           : SMB Policy 
Owner          : Group Policy (Machine) 
NetworkProfile : All 
Precedence     : 127 
Template       : SMB 
PriorityValue  : 3

This command gets a list of QoS policies stored on the local computer (localhost).

Example 2: Get currently effective QoS policies 

PS C:\> Get-NetQosPolicy -PolicyStore "ActiveStore"
Name           : smb policy 
Owner          : Group Policy (Machine) 
NetworkProfile : All 
Precedence     : 127 
Template       : SMB 
PriorityValue  : 3 

Name               : ntttcp 1 
Owner              : Group Policy (Machine) 
NetworkProfile     : All 
Precedence         : 127 
AppPathName        : ntttcp.exe 
MinBandwidthWeight : 30 

Name           : backup 
Owner          : Group Policy (Machine) 
NetworkProfile : Domain 
Precedence     : 127 
IPProtocol     : Both 
DSCPValue      : 40 

Name           : ftp 
Owner          : PowerShell / WMI 
NetworkProfile : All 
Precedence     : 127 
AppPathName    : ftp.exe 
ThrottleRate   : 1 MBytes/sec

This command gets a list of QoS policies currently effective on the computer.

This command gets all of the properties of a specific QoS policy. Some parameters on the left side of the output are actually aliases for real parameters. For example, the AppName parameter is an alias for the AppPathNameMatchCondition parameter.

Optional Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

Type: SwitchParameter
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-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.

Type: CimSession[]
Aliases: Session
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Name

Specifies the QoS policy name.

Type: String[]
Position: 0
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-PolicyStore

Specifies the location of the policy that is stored. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

  • ActiveStore
  • COMPUTERNAME
  • GPO:COMPUTERNAME
  • GPO:DOMAIN\GPONAME
  • LDAP://LDAP-URL
Type: String
Aliases: store
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-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.

Type: Int32
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

Inputs

None

Outputs

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/StandardCimv2/MSFT_NetQosPolicySettingData

The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign ( # ) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object. The MSFT_NetQosPolicySettingData object contains a QoS policy.
