Goal

When there is an network issue between client and server, it often uses Wireshark to capture trace.Wireshark is a wonderful tool that is easy to use, but there are times when its use may be limited.For Example:

Wireshark needs to be installed. In some organizations, the User doesn’t have Admin rights to install new programs on the desktop.
Wireshark is known to use a lot of memory during capture, it could eat up most of the available memory of your computer.

That’s when a tool like Microsoft’s netsh utility is necessary.
This article only shows how to capture a trace by netsh utility. For other details, please refer to netsh documentation on website - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/networking/technologies/netsh/netsh
