Description
This cmdlet is only available on the Windows platform.
The New-WSManSessionOption
cmdlet creates a WSMan Session option hash table which can be passed to
WSMan cmdlets:
Get-WSManInstance
Set-WSManInstance
Invoke-WSManAction
Connect-WSMan
Examples
Example 1: Create a connection that uses connection options
PS C:\> $a = New-WSManSessionOption -OperationTimeout 30000
PS C:\> Connect-WSMan -ComputerName "server01" -SessionOption $a
PS C:\> cd wsman:
PS WSMan:\> dir
WSManConfig: Microsoft.WSMan.Management\WSMan::WSMan
ComputerName Type
------------ ----
localhost Container
server01 Container
This example creates a connection to the remote server01 computer by using the connection options
that are defined by New-WSManSessionOption
.
The first command uses New-WSManSessionOption
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.
Connect-WSMan
is generally used in 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 appear in
the ComputerName list.
Parameters
-NoEncryption
Indicates that the connection does not use encryption for remote operations over HTTP.
By default, unencrypted traffic is not enabled. It must be enabled in the local configuration.
Type: | SwitchParameter |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-OperationTimeout
Specifies the time-out, in milliseconds, for the WS-Management operation.
Type: | Int32 |
Aliases: | OperationTimeoutMSec |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ProxyAccessType
Specifies the mechanism by which the proxy server is located. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
ProxyIEConfig
- Use the Internet Explorer proxy configuration for the current user.ProxyWinHttpConfig
- The WSMan client uses the proxy settings configured for WinHTTP, using the ProxyCfg.exe utility.ProxyAutoDetect
- Force auto-detection of a proxy server.ProxyNoProxyServer
- Do not use a proxy server. Resolve all host names locally.
The default value is ProxyIEConfig.
Type: | ProxyAccessType |
Accepted values: | ProxyIEConfig, ProxyWinHttpConfig, ProxyAutoDetect, ProxyNoProxyServer |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ProxyAuthentication
Specifies the authentication method to use at the proxy. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
Basic
- Basic is a scheme in which the user name and password are sent in clear-text to the server or proxy.Digest
- Digest is a challenge-response scheme that uses a server-specified data string for the challenge.Negotiate
- Negotiate is a challenge-response scheme that negotiates with the server or proxy to determine which scheme to use for authentication. Examples are the Kerberos protocol and NTLM.
The default value is Negotiate.
Type: | ProxyAuthentication |
Accepted values: | Negotiate, Basic, Digest |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ProxyCredential
Specifies a user account that has permission to gain access through an intermediate Web proxy.
Type: | PSCredential |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-SkipCACheck
Specifies that, when it connects over HTTPS, the client does not validate that the server certificate is signed by a trusted certification authority (CA). Use this option only when the remote computer is trusted by another method, for example, if the remote computer is part of a network that is physically secure and isolated or the remote computer is listed as a trusted host in the WS-Management configuration.
Type: | SwitchParameter |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-SkipCNCheck
Specifies that the certificate common name (CN) of the server does not have to match the host name of the server. This is used only in remote operations using HTTPS. This option should only be used for trusted computers.
Type: | SwitchParameter |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-SkipRevocationCheck
Indicates that the connection does not validate the revocation status on the server certificate.
Type: | SwitchParameter |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-SPNPort
Specifies a port number to append to the connection Service Principal Name (SPN) of the remote server. An SPN is used when the authentication mechanism is Kerberos or Negotiate.
Type: | Int32 |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-UseUTF16
Indicates that the connection encodes the request in UTF16 format instead of UTF8 format. The default is UTF8 encoding.
Type: | SwitchParameter |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Outputs
This cmdlet returns the created WSMan session option as a SessionOption object.
