Windows PowerShell command on Get-command Test-ComputerSecureChannel

NAME
    Test-ComputerSecureChannel
    
SYNOPSIS
    Tests and repairs the secure channel between the local computer and its domain.
    
    
SYNTAX
    Test-ComputerSecureChannel [-Confirm] [-Credential ] [-Repair] [-Server ] [-WhatIf] 
    []
    
    
DESCRIPTION
    The Test-ComputerSecureChannel cmdlet verifies that the channel between the local computer and its domain is 
    working correctly by checking the status of its trust relationships. If a connection fails, you can use the Repair 
    parameter to try to restore it. Test-ComputerSecureChannel returns $True if the channel is working correctly and 
    $False if it is not. This result lets you use the cmdlet in conditional statements in functions and scripts. To 
    get more detailed test results, use the Verbose parameter.
    
    This cmdlet works much like NetDom.exe. Both NetDom and Test-ComputerSecureChannel use the NetLogon service to 
    perform the actions.
    

PARAMETERS
    -Confirm []
        Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
        
        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value                False
        Accept pipeline input?       False
        Accept wildcard characters?  false
        
    -Credential 
        Specifies a user account that has permission to perform this action. Type a user name, such as User01 or 
        Domain01\User01, or enter a PSCredential object, such as one that the Get-Credential cmdlet returns. By 
        default, the cmdlet uses the credentials of the current user.
        
        The Credential parameter is designed for use in commands that use the Repair parameter to repair the channel 
        between the computer and the domain.
        
        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value                None
        Accept pipeline input?       False
        Accept wildcard characters?  false
        
    -Repair []
        Indicates that this cmdlet removes and then rebuilds the channel established by the NetLogon service. Use this 
        parameter to try to restore a connection that has failed the test.
        
        To use this parameter, the current user must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer.
        
        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value                False
        Accept pipeline input?       False
        Accept wildcard characters?  false
        
    -Server 
        Specifies the domain controller to run the command. If this parameter is not specified, this cmdlet selects a 
        default domain controller for the operation.
        
        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value                None
        Accept pipeline input?       False
        Accept wildcard characters?  false
        
    -WhatIf []
        Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
        
        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value                False
        Accept pipeline input?       False
        Accept wildcard characters?  false
        
    
        This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
        ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
        OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see 
        about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).

NOTES
    
    
        To run a Test-ComputerSecureChannel * command on Windows Vista and later versions of the Windows operating 
        system, open Windows PowerShell by using the Run as administrator option.  Test-ComputerSecureChannel is 
        implemented by using the I_NetLogonControl2 * function, which controls various aspects of the Netlogon service.
    
    Example 1: Test a channel between the local computer and its domain
    
    PS C:\>Test-ComputerSecureChannel
    True
    
    This command tests the channel between the local computer and the domain to which it is joined.
    Example 2: Test a channel between the local computer and a domain controller
    
    PS C:\>Test-ComputerSecureChannel -Server "DCName.fabrikam.com"
    True
    
    This command specifies a preferred domain controller for the test.
    Example 3: Reset the channel between the local computer and its domain
    
    PS C:\>Test-ComputerSecureChannel -Repair
    True
    
    This command resets the channel between the local computer and its domain.
    Example 4: Display detailed information about the test
    
    PS C:\>Test-ComputerSecureChannel -verbose
    VERBOSE: Performing operation "Test-ComputerSecureChannel" on Target "SERVER01".
    True
    VERBOSE: "The secure channel between 'SERVER01' and 'net.fabrikam.com' is alive and working correctly."
    
    This command uses the Verbose common parameter to request detailed messages about the operation. For more 
    information about Verbose , see about_CommonParameters.
    Example 5: Test a connection before you run a script
    
    PS C:\>Set-Alias tcsc Test-ComputerSecureChannel
    if (!(tcsc))
    {Write-Host "Connection failed. Reconnect and retry."}
    else { &(.\Get-Servers.ps1) }
    
    This example shows how to use Test-ComputerSecureChannel to test a connection before you run a script that 
    requires the connection.
    
    The first command uses the Set-Alias cmdlet to create an alias for the cmdlet name. This saves space and prevents 
    typing errors.
    
    The If statement checks the value that Test-ComputerSecureChannel returns before it runs a script.
