Enables the session configurations on the local computer.
Enable-PSSessionConfiguration [[-Name] <String[]>] [-Force] [-SecurityDescriptorSddl <String>] [-SkipNetworkProfileCheck] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]
The Enable-PSSessionConfiguration cmdlet enables registered session configurations that have been disabled, such as by using the Disable-PSSessionConfiguration or Dis
able-PSRemoting cmdlets, or the AccessMode parameter of Register-PSSessionConfiguration. This is an advanced cmdlet that is designed to be used by system administrato
rs to manage customized session configurations for their users.
Without parameters, Enable-PSSessionConfiguration enables the Microsoft.PowerShell configuration, which is the default configuration that is used for sessions.
Enable-PSSessionConfiguration removes the "Deny_All" setting from the security descriptor of the affected session configurations, turns on the listener that accepts r
equests on any IP address, and restarts the WinRM service. Beginning in Windows PowerShell 3.0, Enable-PSSessionConfiguration also sets the value of the Enabled prope
rty of the session configuration (WSMan:\<computer>\PlugIn\<SessionConfigurationName>\Enabled) to "True". However, Enable-PSSessionConfiguration does not remove or c
hange the "Network_Deny_All" (AccessMode=Local) security descriptor setting that allows only users of the local computer to use to the session configuration.
The Enable-PSSessionConfiguration cmdlet calls the Set-WSManQuickConfig cmdlet. However, it should not be used to enable remoting on the computer. Instead, use the mo
re comprehensive cmdlet, Enable-PSRemoting.
