micmaher / asyncfunctions

Various functions that make use of *Async .Net methods to perform operations in bulk faster.

This is a branch off from Boe Prox's Test-ConnectionAsync. It is a wrapper that uses Boe's underlying ASync function to ping all hosts on a designated subnet.

Without a parameter the whole local subnet is pinged and results are returned. It is super quick . . .
