Hello Folks, this is just a simple post on how to open and enter a Remote PowerShell Session from one server to another. A lot of tasks on different servers can be accomplished in a convenient way from one server.
For instance if you want to Change the Keyboard Layout on the login screen of a new Server Core installation.
We will use the cmdlets below to open, enter, exit, and remove a Remote PowerShell session.
Remote PowerShell Prerequisites:
If you want to go for sure firstly check the PS-Remoting state of the remote computer with:
Afterward, verify the state of the WinRM service on the remote computer that it is running:
Remote PowerShell Session Cmdlets:
New-PSSession – [Create a new persistent connection to the target host]
Enter-PSSession – [Enter a session as interactive session]
Exit-PSSession – [Exit session. The session will still be alive in the background]
Disconnect-PSSession – [Disconnect from the session]
Connect-PSSession – [connect to a disconnected session]
Remove-PSSession – [Remove an earlier created persistent session]
Ok, here we go …
Create a Remote PowerShell Session with New-PSSession:
New-PSSession -Name NameOfSession -ComputerName NameOfRemoteComputer -Credential Domain\Username.
In case you don’t want to give the remote PowerShell session a name it will be named WinRM*
Check the newly created session with Get-PSSession:

If you have more sessions you can go for the computer name:
Get-PSSession -ComputerName NameOfRemoteComputer
… or explicit for the session name:
Get-PSSession -Name NameOfSession
… and also for the Id:
Get-PSSession -Name ID
Enter a session directly as an interactive session with Enter-PSSession:
Enter-PSSession -name NameOfSession.
As a result, PowerShell switches to the entered interactive session:

You can perform tasks on the target server via PowerShell from the localhost within this session now.
Enter-PSSession does not require a session that has been created with New-PSSession before.

Exit an interactive session with Exit-PSSession:
Exit-PSSessionInstead of Exit-PSSession, you can just type Exit as well. It will have the same effect.
Thereafter, the session remains open but you have left the interactive session into the localhost’s PowerShell:
Disconnect a session with Disconnect-PSSession:
But you can’t disconnect an interactive session that has been initiated with Enter-PSSession.
To disconnect a session run the command below from your localhost’s PowerShell:
Disconnect-PSSession -name NameOfSession
…or disconnect it based on the ID:
Disconnect-PSSession -Id ID
Further, you can disconnect all remote session for a certain remote host based on ComputerName:
Disconnect-PSSession -Id ComputerName
Following you get an output like this:
You can later reconnect by using the Connect-PSSession cmdlet.
Reconnect a disconnected PowerShell session:
Connect-PSSession -name NameOfSession… or you connect it with its ID:
Connect-PSSession -Id ID… as well as with ComputerName:
Connect-PSSession -Id Computername
Remote PowerShell Session to Exchange Server
To connect with a Remote PowerShell Session to Exchange use:
$ExSession = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange –Name ExchangeSession -ConnectionUri “http://RemoteExchangeFQDN/powershell” -Credential $UserCred -Authentication Kerberos
Import-PSSession $ExSession
You can verify the session with name ExchangeSession you just openend with Get-PSSession:
The same can be done from an Exchange Management Shell to connect through a Remote PowerShell session to another Exchange Server:
If you are on a Server Core type LaunchEMS into the command window.
Use the CMDlets from above
That’s all.
