Example 1

Description

These commands start and then stop an interactive session with the Server01 remote computer.

| Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
C:\PS>$s = new-pssession -computername Server01 C:\PS> Enter-PSSession -session $s Server01\PS> Exit-PSSession C:\PS> $s Id Name ComputerName State ConfigurationName -- ---- ------------ ----- ----------------- 1 Session1 Server01 Opened Microsoft.PowerShell |
|
Description
-----------
These commands start and stop an interactive session with the Server01 computer that uses a Windows PowerShell session (PSSession).
Because the interactive session was started by using a Windows PowerShell session (PSSession), the PSSession is still available when the interactive session ends. If you use the ComputerName parameter, Enter-PSSession creates a temporary session that it closes when the interactive session ends.
The first command uses the New-PSSession cmdlet to create a PSSession on the Server01 computer. The command saves the PSSession in the $s variable.
The second command uses the Enter-PSSession cmdlet to start an interactive session using the PSSession in $s.
The third command uses the Exit-PSSession cmdlet to stop the interactive session.
The final command displays the PSSession in the $s variable. The State property shows the PSSession is still open and available for use.

Description
