    I created a monitor for client servers so i know when they are showing on a public network. Works Great on 2012 and newer. Is there a way to query the network category on server 2008r2? the one that works on 2012 is Get-NetConnectionProfile

    The end goal is i need to know what the network location is because that determines what firewall settings are applied. public, private, work or domain

    Hi SGTWTF22,

    If you run:

    Get-NetConnectionProfile | Get-Member


   TypeName: Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#root/StandardCimv2/MSFT_Net
ConnectionProfile
    It shows the above TypeName. You can see that it is a CimInstance. Using that information, you can run the below command.

    Get-CimInstance -Namespace 'root/StandardCimv2' -ClassName 'MSFT_NetConnectionProfile'
    OR
    Get-WmiObject -Namespace 'root/StandardCimv2' -ClassName 'MSFT_NetConnectionProfile'
    I don't have a 2008R2 server in my test environment to test, hopefully it works though.

    Get-NetConnectionProfile is not available on W2K8.  Always reference the docs when in doubt: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj899566(v=wps.620).aspx

    Thanks jrv. As answered here, MSFT_NetConnectionProfile class doesn't exist in Server 2008R2.
