PSSessionConfiguration

PSSessionConfiguration is a cmdlet in PowerShell that is used to manage the configuration of PowerShell sessions. It allows administrators to define and customize the settings for remote PowerShell sessions, including the types of commands that can be run, the language mode, and the visibility of certain cmdlets and functions. This cmdlet is particularly useful in environments where security and control over remote administration are paramount.

The PSSessionConfiguration cmdlet can be used to create, modify, and delete session configurations. When creating a new session configuration, administrators can specify various parameters such as the name of the configuration, the execution policy, and the visibility of cmdlets and functions. The execution policy determines the level of script execution that is allowed, ranging from Restricted (no scripts) to AllSigned (only scripts signed by a trusted publisher).

Modifying an existing session configuration allows administrators to update the settings as needed, such as changing the execution policy or adjusting the visibility of cmdlets and functions. This flexibility ensures that the configuration can be tailored to meet the specific needs of different environments and use cases.

Deleting a session configuration removes it from the system, which can be useful for cleaning up unused or outdated configurations. However, it is important to exercise caution when deleting configurations, as this action cannot be undone.

Overall, PSSessionConfiguration is a powerful tool for managing the security and functionality of remote PowerShell sessions. By providing a centralized way to configure session settings, it helps administrators maintain control over remote administration activities and ensure that the environment remains secure and compliant with organizational policies.
