Examples

Start and stop an interactive session:
```
PS C:\> Enter-PSSession -computername Server01
Server01\PS> Exit-PSSession
PS C:\>
```
These commands start and then stop an interactive session with the Server01 remote computer.
Start and stop an interactive session by using a PSSession object:
```
PS C:\> $s = New-PSSession -ComputerName Server01
PS C:\>  Enter-PSSession -Session $s
Server01\PS> Exit-PSSession
PS C:\> $s

   Id Name            ComputerName    State    ConfigurationName
   -- ----            ------------    -----    -----------------
   1  Session1        Server01        Opened   Microsoft.PowerShell
```
These commands start and stop an interactive session with the Server01 computer that uses a Windows PowerShell session ( PSSession ).
Because the interactive session was started by using a Windows PowerShell session, the PSSession is still available when the interactive session ends. If you use the ComputerName parameter, Enter-PSSession creates a temporary session that it closes when the interactive session ends.
The first command uses the New-PSSession cmdlet to create a PSSession on the Server01 computer. The command saves the PSSession in the $s variable.
The second command uses Enter-PSSession to start an interactive session using the PSSession in $s.
The third command uses Exit-PSSession to stop the interactive session.
The final command displays the PSSession in the $s variable. The State property shows the PSSession is still open and available for use.
Use the Exit keyword to stop a session:
```
PS C:\> Enter-PSSession -computername Server01
Server01\PS> exit
PS C:\>
```
This example uses the Exit keyword to stop an interactive session started by using Enter-PSSession . The Exit keyword has the same effect as using Exit-PSSession .
