The Win32_NetworkLoginProfile WMI class represents the network login information of a specific user on a computer system running Windows. This includes, but is not limited to password status, access privileges, disk quotas, and logon directory paths.

Methods

Win32_NetworkLoginProfile has no methods.

Properties

Win32_NetworkLoginProfile returns 9 properties:

'AccountExpires','AuthorizationFlags','BadPasswordCount','Caption','CodePage',
'Comment','CountryCode','Description','Flags'

Unless explicitly marked as writeable, all properties are read-only. Read all properties for all instances:

Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_NetworkLoginProfile -Property *

Most WMI classes return one or more instances.

When Get-CimInstance returns no result, then apparently no instances of class Win32_NetworkLoginProfile exist. This is normal behavior.

Either the class is not implemented on your system (may be deprecated or due to missing drivers, i.e. CIM_VideoControllerResolution), or there are simply no physical representations of this class currently available (i.e. Win32_TapeDrive).

AccountExpires

DATETIME

Account will expire. This value is calculated from the number of seconds elapsed since 00:00:00, January 1, 1970, and is set in this format: yyyymmddhhmmss.mmmmmm sutc.

Selecting Properties

To select only some properties, pipe the results to Select-Object -Property a,b,c with a comma-separated list of the properties you require. Wildcards are permitted.

Get-CimInstance always returns all properties but only retrieves the ones that you specify. All other properties are empty but still present. That’s why you need to pipe the results into Select-Object if you want to limit the visible properties, i.e. for reporting.

Selecting Properties

The code below lists all available properties. Remove the ones you do not need:

$properties = 'AccountExpires',
              'AuthorizationFlags',
              'BadPasswordCount',
              'Caption',
              'CodePage',
              'Comment',
              'CountryCode',
              'Description',
              'Flags'
Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_NetworkLoginProfile | Select-Object -Property $properties
Limiting Network Bandwidth

If you work remotely, it makes sense to limit network bandwidth by filtering the properties on the server side, too:

Get-CimInstance -Class Win32_NetworkLoginProfile -Property $property | 
Select-Object -Property $property

Selecting Instances

To select some instances, use Get-CimInstance and a WMI Query. The wildcard character in WMI Queries is % (and not “*”).

The parameter -Filter runs a simple query.

Listing all instances where the property Caption starts with “A” 
Get-CimInstance -Class Win32_NetworkLoginProfile -Filter 'Caption LIKE "a%"'
Using a WQL Query

The parameter -Query uses a query similar to SQL and combines the parameters -Filter and -Property. This returns all instances where the property Caption starts with “A”, and returns the properties specified:

Get-CimInstance -Query "SELECT Description, Flags, AccountExpires, Comment FROM Win32_NetworkLoginProfile WHERE Caption LIKE 'a%'"

Any property you did not specify is still present but empty. You might need to use Select-Object to remove all unwanted properties:

Get-CimInstance -Query "SELECT Description, Flags, AccountExpires, Comment FROM Win32_NetworkLoginProfile WHERE Caption LIKE 'a%'" | Select-Object -Property Description, Flags, AccountExpires, Comment

Accessing Remote Computers

To access remote systems, you need to have proper permissions. User the parameter -ComputerName to access one or more remote systems.

Authenticating as Current User 
# one or more computer names or IP addresses:
$list = 'server1', 'server2'

# authenticate with your current identity:
$result = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_NetworkLoginProfile -ComputerName $list 
$result
Authenticating as Different User

Use a CIMSession object to authenticate with a new identity:

# one or more computer names or IP addresses:
$list = 'server1', 'server2'

# authenticate with a different identity:
$cred = Get-Credential -Message 'Authenticate to retrieve WMI information:'
$session = New-CimSession -ComputerName $list -Credential $cred

$result = Get-CimInstance Win32_NetworkLoginProfile -CimSession $session

# remove the session after use (if you do not plan to re-use it later)
Remove-CimSession -CimSession $session

$result
