Enable-PSSessionConfiguration

NAME
    Enable-PSSessionConfiguration

SYNOPSIS
    Enables the session configurations on the local computer.

SYNTAX
    Enable-PSSessionConfiguration [[-Name] <string[]>] [-Force] [-SecurityDescriptorSddl <string>] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION
    The Enable-PSSessionConfiguration cmdlet re-enables registered session configurations that have been disabled by using the Disable-PSSessionConfiguration cmdlet. This is an advanced cmdlet that is designed to be used by system administrators to manage customized session configurations for their users.

    Without parameters, Enable-PSSessionConfiguration re-enables the Microsoft.PowerShell configuration, which is the default configuration that is used for sessions.

    This cmdlet performs the following operations for each enabled configuration:
    — Removes the “deny all” setting from the security descriptor of the configuration or replaces the security descriptor with one that you specify.
    — Turns on the listener that accepts requests on any IP address.
    — Restarts the WinRM service.

    The Enable-PSSessionConfiguration cmdlet calls the Set-WSManQuickConfig cmdlet. However, it should not be used to enable remoting on the computer. Instead, use the more comprehensive cmdlet, Enable-PSRemoting.

PARAMETERS
    -Force [<SwitchParameter>]
        Suppresses all user prompts, and restarts the WinRM service without prompting. Restarting the service makes the configuration change effective.

        To prevent a restart and suppress the restart prompt, use the NoServiceRestart parameter.

        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value
        Accept pipeline input?     false
        Accept wildcard characters? false

    -Name <string[]>
        Specifies the names of session configurations to enable. Enter one or more configuration names. Wildcards are permitted.

        You can also pipe a string that contains a configuration name or a session configuration object to Enable-PSSessionConfiguration.

        If you omit this parameter, Enable-PSSessionConfiguration enables the Microsoft.PowerShell session configuration.

        Required?                    false
        Position?                    1
        Default value
        Accept pipeline input?     true (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
        Accept wildcard characters? true

    -SecurityDescriptorSddl <string>
        Replaces the security descriptor on the session configuration with the specified security descriptor.

        If you omit this parameter, Enable-PSSessionConfiguration just deletes the “deny all” item from the security descriptor.

        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value
        Accept pipeline input?     false
        Accept wildcard characters? false

    -Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]
        Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command.

        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value
        Accept pipeline input?     false
        Accept wildcard characters? false

    -WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]
        Describes what would happen if you executed the command without actually executing the command.

        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value
        Accept pipeline input?     false
        Accept wildcard characters? false

    <CommonParameters>
        This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
        ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
        OutBuffer and OutVariable. For more information, type,
        “Get-Help about_CommonParameters“.

INPUTS

cmdlet, Enable, WSManCredSSP

Enable-WSManCredSSP

NAME
    Enable-WSManCredSSP

SYNOPSIS
    Enables Credential Security Service Provider (CredSSP) authentication on a client computer.

SYNTAX
    Enable-WSManCredSSP [-Role] <string> [[-DelegateComputer] <string>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION
    The Enable-WSManCredSPP cmdlet enables CredSSP authentication on a client or on a server computer. When CredSSP authentication is used, the user’s credentials are passed to a remote computer to be authenticated. This type of authentication is designed for commands that create a remote session from within another remote session. For example, you use this type of authentication if you want to run a background job on a remote computer.

    This cmdlet is used to enable CredSSP on the client by specifying Client in the Role parameter. The cmdlet then performs the following:

        – Enables CredSSP on the client. The WS-Management setting <localhost|computername>\Client\Auth\CredSSP is set to true.
        – Sets the Windows CredSSP policy AllowFreshCredentials to WSMan/Delegate on the client.
        – Note: These settings allow the client to delegate explicit credentials to a server when server authentication is achieved.

    This cmdlet is used to enable CredSSP on the server by specifying Server in the Role parameter. The cmdlet then performs the following:

     – Enables CredSSP on the server. The WS-Management setting <localhost|computername>\Service\Auth\CredSSP is set to true.
     – Note: This policy setting allows the server to act as a delegate for clients.

    Caution: CredSSP authentication delegates the user’s credentials from the local computer to a remote computer. This practice increases the security risk of the remote operation. If the remote computer is compromised, when credentials are passed to it, the credentials can be used to control the network session.

    To disable CredSSP authentication, use the Disable-WSManCredSSP cmdlet.

PARAMETERS
    -DelegateComputer <string>
        Allows the client credentials to be delegated to the server or servers that are specified by this parameter. The value of this parameter should be a fully qualified domain name.

        If the Role parameter specifies Client, the DelegateComputer parameter is mandatory.
        If the Role parameter specifies Server, the DelegateComputer parameter is not allowed.

        Required?                    false
        Position?                    2
        Default value
        Accept pipeline input?     false
        Accept wildcard characters? false

    -Role <string>
        Accepts one of two possible values: Client or Server. These values specify whether CredSSP should be enabled as a client or as a server.

        If the Role parameter specifies Client, the cmdlet performs the following:

            – Enables CredSSP on the client. The WS-Management setting <localhost|computername>\Client\Auth\CredSSP is set to true.
            – Sets the Windows CredSSP policy AllowFreshCredentials to WSMan/Delegate on the client.
            – Note: These settings allow the client to delegate explicit credentials to a server when server authentication is achieved.

        If the Role parameter specifies the Server, the cmdlet performs the following:

         – Enables CredSSP on the server. The WS-Management setting <localhost|computername>\Service\Auth\CredSSP is set to true.
         – Note: This policy setting allows the server to act as a delegate for clients.

        Required?                    true
        Position?                    1
        Default value
        Accept pipeline input?     false
        Accept wildcard characters? false

    <CommonParameters>
        This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
        ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
        OutBuffer and OutVariable. For more information, type,
        “Get-Help about_CommonParameters“.

INPUTS
    None
        This cmdlet does not accept any input.

OUTPUTS
    System.Xml.XmlElement
        If CredSSP authentication is successfully enabled, this cmdlet generates an XMLElement object.

    ————————– EXAMPLE 4 ————————–

    C:\PS>Enable-WSManCredSSP -Role server

    Description
    ———–
    This command allows a computer to act as a delegate for another. The Enable-WSManCredSSP cmdlet (shown in the earlier examples) only enables CredSSP authentication on the client, and specifies the remote computers that can act on it’s behalf. In order for the remote computer to act as a delegate for the client, the CredSSP item in the Service node of WSMan must be set to true.

    ————————– EXAMPLE 5 ————————–

    C:\PS>Connect-WSMan server02
    Set-Item WSMan:\server02\service\auth\credSSP -value $true

    Description
    ———–
    This command allows a computer to act as a delegate for another computer. The Enable-WSManCredSSP commands that are shown in the earlier examples enable CredSSP authentication only on the client computer, and they specify the remote computers that can act on behalf of the client computer. For the remote computer to act as a delegate for the client computer, the CredSSP item in the Service directory of the WSMan provider must be set to true.

    In this example, the first command creates a connection to the remote server02 computer.

    The second command sets the credSSP value on the remote server02 computer, which allows the remote computer to act as a delegate.

cmdlet, Enable, PSBreakpoint

Enable-PSBreakpoint

NAME
    Enable-PSBreakpoint

SYNOPSIS
    Enables the breakpoints in the current console.

SYNTAX
    Enable-PSBreakpoint [-Id] <Int32[]> [-PassThru] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]

    Enable-PSBreakpoint [-Breakpoint] <Breakpoint[]> [-PassThru] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION
    The Enable-PSBreakpoint cmdlet re-enables disabled breakpoints. You can use it to enable all breakpoints, or you can specify breakpoints by submitting breakpoint objects or breakpoint IDs.

    A breakpoint is a point in a script where execution stops temporarily so that you can examine the instructions in the script. Newly created breakpoints are automatically enabled, but you can disable them by using the Disable-PSBreakpoint cmdlet.

    Technically, this cmdlet changes the value of the Enabled property of a breakpoint object to True.

    Enable-PSBreakpoint is one of several cmdlets designed for debugging Windows PowerShell scripts. For more information about the Windows PowerShell debugger, see about_debuggers.

PARAMETERS
    -Breakpoint <Breakpoint[]>
        Specifies the breakpoints to enable. Enter a Variable that contains breakpoint objects or a command that gets breakpoint objects, such as a Get-PSBreakpoint command. You can also pipe breakpoint objects to Enable-PSBreakpoint.

        Required?                    true
        Position?                    1
        Default value                None.
        Accept pipeline input?     true (ByValue)
        Accept wildcard characters? false

    -Id <Int32[]>
        Enables breakpoints that have the specified breakpoint IDs. The default value is all breakpoints. Enter the IDs or a Variable that contains the IDs. (You cannot pipe IDs to Enable-PSBreakpoint.) To find the ID of a breakpoint, use the Get-PSBreakpoint cmdlet.

        Required?                    true
        Position?                    1
        Default value                None
        Accept pipeline input?     true (ByPropertyName)
        Accept wildcard characters? false

    -PassThru [<SwitchParameter>]
        Returns an object representing the enabled breakpoint. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value                No output
        Accept pipeline input?     false
        Accept wildcard characters? false

    -Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]
        Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command.

        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value
        Accept pipeline input?     false
        Accept wildcard characters? false

    -WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]
        Describes what would happen if you executed the command without actually executing the command.

        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value
        Accept pipeline input?     false
        Accept wildcard characters? false

    <CommonParameters>
        This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
        ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
        OutBuffer and OutVariable. For more information, type,
        “Get-Help about_CommonParameters“.

INPUTS
    System.Management.Automation.Breakpoint
        You can pipe a breakpoint object to Enable-PSBreakpoint.

OUTPUTS
    None or System.Management.Automation.Breakpoint
        When you use the PassThru parameter, Enable-PSBreakpoint returns a breakpoint object that represent that breakpoint that was enabled. Otherwise, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

NOTES

        The Enable-PSBreakpoint cmdlet does not generate an error if you try to enable a breakpoint that is already enabled. As such, you can enable all breakpoints without error, even when only a few are disabled.

        Breakpoints are enabled when you create them by using the Set-PSBreakpoint cmdlet. You do not need to enable newly created breakpoints.

    ————————– EXAMPLE 1 ————————–

    C:\PS>Get-PSBreakpoint | Enable-PSBreakpoint

    Description
    ———–
    This command enables all breakpoints in the current console. You can abbreviate the command as “gbp | ebp”.

    ————————– EXAMPLE 2 ————————–

    C:\PS>Enable-PSBreakpoint -Id 0, 1, 5

    Description
    ———–
    This command enables breakpoints with breakpoint IDs 0, 1, and 5.

    ————————– EXAMPLE 3 ————————–

    C:\PS>$b = Set-PSBreakpoint -script sample.ps1 -variable Name

    C:\PS> $b | Disable-PSBreakpoint -PassThru

    AccessMode : Write
    Variable : Name
    Action     :
    Enabled    : False
    HitCount : 0
    Id         : 0
    Script     : C:\ps-test\sample.ps1
    ScriptName : C:\ps-test\sample.ps1

    C:\PS> $b | Enable-PSBreakpoint -PassThru

    AccessMode : Write
    Variable : Name
    Action     :
    Enabled    : True
    HitCount : 0
    Id         : 0
    Script     : C:\ps-test\sample.ps1
    ScriptName : C:\ps-test\sample.ps1

    Description
    ———–
    These commands re-enable a breakpoint that has been disabled.

    The first command uses the Set-PSBreakpoint cmdlet to create a breakpoint on the “Name” Variable in the Sample.ps1 script. Then, it saves the breakpoint object in the $b Variable.

    The second command uses the Disable-PSBreakpoint cmdlet to disable the new breakpoint. It uses a pipeline operator (|) to send the breakpoint object in $b to the Disable-PSBreakpoint cmdlet, and it uses the PassThru parameter of Disable-PSBreakpoint to display the disabled breakpoint object. This lets you verify that the value of the Enabled property of the breakpoint object is False.

    The third command uses the Enable-PSBreakpoint cmdlet to re-enable the breakpoint. It uses a pipeline operator (|) to send the breakpoint object in $b to the Enable-PSBreakpoint cmdlet, and it uses the PassThru parameter of Enable-PSBreakpoint to display the breakpoint object. This lets you verify that the value of the Enabled property of the breakpoint object is True.

    The results are shown in the following sample output.

    ————————– EXAMPLE 4 ————————–

    C:\PS>$b = Get-PSBreakpoint -Id 3, 5

    C:\PS> Enable-PSBreakpoint -breakpoint $b

    Description
    ———–
    These commands enable a set of breakpoints by specifying their breakpoint objects.

    The first command uses the Get-PSBreakpoint cmdlet to get the breakpoints and saves them in the $b Variable.

    The second command uses the Enable-PSBreakpoint cmdlet and its Breakpoint parameter to enable the breakpoints.
    This command is the equivalent of “Enable-PSBreakpoint -Id 3, 5″.

Disable-WSManCredSSP

NAME
    Disable-WSManCredSSP

SYNOPSIS
    Disables Credential Security Service Provider (CredSSP) authentication on a client computer.

SYNTAX
    Disable-WSManCredSSP [-Role] <string> [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION
    The Disable-WSManCredSPP cmdlet disables CredSSP authentication on a client or on a server computer. When CredSSP authentication is used, the user’s credentials are passed to a remote computer to be authenticated. This type of authentication is designed for commands that create a remote session from within another remote session. For example, you use this type of authentication if you want to run a background job on a remote computer.

    The cmdlet is used to disable CredSSP on the client by specifying Client in the Role parameter. The cmdlet then performs the following:

        – Disables CredSSP on the client. The WS-Management setting <localhost|computername>\Client\Auth\CredSSP is set to false.
        – Removes any WSMan/* setting from the Windows CredSSP policy AllowFreshCredentials on the client.

    The cmdlet is used to disable CredSSP on the server by specifying Server in the Role parameter. The cmdlet then performs the following:

     – Disables CredSSP on the server. The WS-Management setting <localhost|computername>\Service\Auth\CredSSP is set to false.

    Caution: CredSSP authentication delegates the user’s credentials from the local computer to a remote computer. This practice increases the security risk of the remote operation. If the remote computer is compromised, when credentials are passed to it, the credentials can be used to control the network session.

    To disable CredSSP authentication, use the Disable-WSManCredSSP cmdlet.

PARAMETERS
    -Role <string>
        Accepts one of two possible values: Client or Server. These values specify whether CredSSP should be disabled as a client or as a server.

        If the cmdlet is used to disable CredSSP on the client by specifying Client in the Role parameter, then the cmdlet performs the following:

cmdlet, Disable, PSBreakpoint

Disable-PSBreakpoint

NAME
    Disable-PSBreakpoint

SYNOPSIS
    Disables the breakpoints in the current console.

SYNTAX
    Disable-PSBreakpoint [-Id] <Int32[]> [-PassThru] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]

    Disable-PSBreakpoint [-Breakpoint] <Breakpoint[]> [-PassThru] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION
    The Disable-PSBreakpoint cmdlet disables breakpoints, which assures that they are not hit when the script runs. You can use it to disable all breakpoints, or you can specify breakpoints by submitting breakpoint objects or breakpoint IDs.

    Technically, this cmdlet changes the value of the Enabled property of a breakpoint object to False. To re-enable a breakpoint, use the Enable-PSBreakpoint cmdlet. Breakpoints are enabled by default when you create them by using the Set-PSBreakpoint cmdlet.

    A breakpoint is a point in a script where execution stops temporarily so that you can examine the instructions in the script. Disable-PSBreakpoint is one of several cmdlets designed for debugging Windows PowerShell scripts. For more information about the Windows PowerShell debugger, see about_debuggers.

PARAMETERS
    -Breakpoint <Breakpoint[]>
        Specifies the breakpoints to disable. Enter a Variable that contains breakpoint objects or a command that gets breakpoint objects, such as a Get-PSBreakpoint command. You can also pipe breakpoint objects to the Disable-PSBreakpoint cmdlet.

        Required?                    true
        Position?                    1
        Default value                None
        Accept pipeline input?     true (ByValue)
        Accept wildcard characters? false

    -Id <Int32[]>
        Disables the breakpoints with the specified breakpoint IDs. Enter the IDs or a Variable that contains the IDs. You cannot pipe IDs to Disable-PSBreakpoint.

        Required?                    true
        Position?                    1
        Default value
        Accept pipeline input?     true (ByPropertyName)
        Accept wildcard characters? false

    -PassThru [<SwitchParameter>]
        Returns an object representing the enabled breakpoints. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value                None
        Accept pipeline input?     false
        Accept wildcard characters? false

    -Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]
        Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command.

        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value
        Accept pipeline input?     false
        Accept wildcard characters? false

    -WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]
        Describes what would happen if you executed the command without actually executing the command.

        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value
        Accept pipeline input?     false
        Accept wildcard characters? false

    <CommonParameters>
        This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
        ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
        OutBuffer and OutVariable. For more information, type,
        “Get-Help about_CommonParameters“.

INPUTS
    System.Management.Automation.Breakpoint
        You can pipe a breakpoint object to Disable-PSBreakpoint.

OUTPUTS
    None or System.Management.Automation.Breakpoint
        When you use the PassThru parameter, Disable-PSBreakpoint returns an object that represents the disabled breakpoint. Otherwise, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

NOTES

    ————————– EXAMPLE 1 ————————–

    C:\PS>$b = Set-PSBreakpoint -script sample.ps1 -variable name

    C:\PS> $b | Disable-PSBreakpoint

    Description
    ———–
    These commands disable a newly-created breakpoint.

    The first command uses the Set-PSBreakpoint cmdlet to create a breakpoint on the Name Variable in the Sample.ps1 script. Then, it saves the breakpoint object in the $b Variable.

    The second command uses the Disable-PSBreakpoint cmdlet to disable the new breakpoint. It uses a pipeline operator (|) to send the breakpoint object in $b to the Disable-PSBreakpoint cmdlet.

    As a result of this command, the value of the Enabled property of the breakpoint object in $b is False.

    ————————– EXAMPLE 2 ————————–

    C:\PS>Disable-PSBreakpoint -id 0

    Description
    ———–
    This command disables the breakpoint with breakpoint ID 0.

    ————————– EXAMPLE 3 ————————–

    C:\PS>Disable-PSBreakpoint -Breakpoint ($b = Set-PSBreakpoint -script sample.ps1 -line 5)

    C:\PS> $b

    Description
    ———–
    This command creates a new breakpoint that is disabled until you enable it.

    It uses the Disable-PSBreakpoint cmdlet to disable the breakpoint. The value of the Breakpoint parameter is a Set-PSBreakpoint command that sets a new breakpoint, generates a breakpoint object, and saves the object in the $b Variable.

    Cmdlet parameters that take objects as their values can accept a Variable that contains the object or a command that gets or generates the object. In this case, because Set-PSBreakpoint generates a breakpoint object, it can be used as the value of the Breakpoint parameter.

    The second command displays the breakpoint object in the value of the $b Variable.

    ————————– EXAMPLE 4 ————————–

    C:\PS>Get-PSBreakpoint | Disable-PSBreakpoint

    Description
    ———–
    This command disables all breakpoints in the current console. You can abbreviate this command as: “gbp | dbp”.

cmdlet, Disable, PSSessionConfiguration

Disable-PSSessionConfiguration

NAME
    Disable-PSSessionConfiguration

SYNOPSIS
    Denies access to the session configurations on the local computer.

SYNTAX
    Disable-PSSessionConfiguration [[-Name] <string[]>] [-Force] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION
    The Disable-PSSessionConfiguration cmdlet prevents all users of the computer from using the session configuration in a session. This is an advanced cmdlet that is designed to be used by system administrators to manage customized session configurations for their users.

    The Disable-PSSessionConfiguration cmdlet adds a “deny all” setting to the security descriptor of one or more registered session configurations. As a result, you can unregister, view, and change the configurations, but you cannot use them in a session.

    Without parameters, Disable-PSSessionConfiguration disables the Microsoft.PowerShell configuration, which is the default configuration that is used for sessions. Unless the user specifies a different configuration, both local and remote users are effectively prevented from creating any sessions that connect to the computer.

    To disable all session configurations on the computer, use Disable-PSRemoting.

PARAMETERS
    -Force [<SwitchParameter>]
        Suppresses all user prompts. By default, you are prompted to confirm each operation.

        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value                False
        Accept pipeline input?     false
        Accept wildcard characters? false

    -Name <string[]>
        Specifies the names of session configurations to disable. Enter one or more configuration names. Wildcards are permitted. You can also pipe a string that contains a configuration name or a session configuration object to Disable-PSSessionConfiguration.

        If you omit this parameter, Disable-PSSessionConfiguration disables the Microsoft.PowerShell session configuration.

        Required?                    false
        Position?                    1
        Default value                Microsoft.PowerShell
        Accept pipeline input?     true (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
        Accept wildcard characters? true

    -Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]
        Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command.

        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value
        Accept pipeline input?     false
        Accept wildcard characters? false

    -WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]
        Describes what would happen if you executed the command without actually executing the command.

        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value
        Accept pipeline input?     false
        Accept wildcard characters? false

    <CommonParameters>
        This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
        ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
        OutBuffer and OutVariable. For more information, type,
        “Get-Help about_CommonParameters“.

INPUTS
    Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.PSSessionConfigurationCommands#PSSessionConfiguration, System.String
        You can pipe a session configuration object or a string that contains the name of a session configuration to Disable-PSSessionConfiguration.

OUTPUTS
    None
        This cmdlet does not return any objects.

NOTES

        To run this cmdlet on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and later versions of Windows, you must start Windows PowerShell with the “Run as administrator” option.

    ————————– EXAMPLE 1 ————————–

    C:\PS>Disable-PSSessionConfiguration

        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PSSessionOpenFailed

    Description
    ———–
    This example shows the effect of disabling a session configuration.

    The first command uses the Get-SessionConfiguration and Format-Table cmdlets to display only the Name and Permission properties of the session configuration objects. This table format makes it easier to see the values of the objects. The results show that members of the Administrators group are permitted to use the session configurations.

    The second command uses the Disable-PSSessionConfiguration cmdlet to disable the MaintenanceShell session configuration. The command uses the Force parameter to suppress all user prompts.

    The third command repeats the first command. The results show that you can still get the object that represents the MaintenanceShell session configuration even though everyone is denied access to it. The “AccessDenied” entry takes precedence over all other entries in the security descriptor.

    The fourth command uses the Set-PSSessionConfiguration cmdlet to increase the MaximumDataSizePerCommandMB setting on the MaintenanceShell session configuration to 60. The results show that the command was successful even though everyone is denied access to the configuration.

    The fifth command attempts to use the MaintenanceShell session configuration in a session. It uses the New-PSSession cmdlet to create a new session and the ConfigurationName parameter to specify the MaintenanceShell configuration. The results show that the New-PSSession command fails because the user is denied access to the configuration.
