This command creates a connection to the remote server01 computer by using the connection options that are defined in the
New-WSManSessionOption command.
The first command uses the New-WSManSessionOption cmdlet to store a set of connection setting options in the $a variable. In this case, the
session options set a connection time out of 30 seconds (30,000 milliseconds).
The second command uses the SessionOption parameter to pass the credentials that are stored in the $a variable to Connect-WSMan. Then,
Connect-WSMan connects to the remote server01 computer by using the specified session options.
The Connect-WSMan cmdlet is generally used within the context of the WSMan provider to connect to a remote computer, in this case the server01
computer. However, you can use the cmdlet to establish connections to remote computers before you change to the WSMan provider. Those
connections will appear in the ComputerName list.
