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 interact
ive 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 variabl
e.
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.

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 effe
ct as using Exit-PSSession.
