I think you can PowerShell to check if a port is open at listening status or in closed status with no application running behind it. but i don't think you can use PS to dynamically detect or monitor if the port is refusing or dropping a specific request or packet at a moment as it beyond the capability of a scripting language.

Heyas,

Thank you.

Detecting if port is refusing/dropping new connections on Windows Server via Powershell.

Windows PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework. PowerShell provides full access to the Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), enabling administrators to perform administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows systems as well as WS-Management and Common Information Model (CIM) enabling management of remote Linux systems and network devices.

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
