# EXAMPLE 1

C:\PS>Enter-PSSession -computername Server01

C:\PS>

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

# EXAMPLE 2

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.

# EXAMPLE 3

C:\PS>Enter-PSSession -computername Server01

Server01\PS> exit

C:\PS>

# Description
-----------
This command uses the Exit keyword to stop an interactive session started by using the Enter-PSSession cmdlet. The Exit keyword has the same effect as using Exit-PSSession.
