PowerView.ps1 link

Save this in a notepad as PowerView.ps1 in the windows machine.

This is my cheat sheet for PowerView. These are some PowerView commands that I find useful for Active Directory/Domain enumeration. PowerView is a PowerShell tool to gain network situational awareness on Windows domains.

Open Command Prompt as administrator.

Then Type : powershell -ep bypass

Then go to the directory where you saved the PowerView script then run this command : . .\PowerView.ps1

Now you can begin the enumeration!
