New-PSSessionConfigurationFile

Short description
Creates a file that defines a session configuration.

Syntax


Description
The New-PSSessionConfigurationFile cmdlet creates a file of settings that define a session configuration and the 
environment of sessions that are created by using the session configuration. To use the file in a session 
configuration, use the Path parameters of the Register-PSSessionConfiguration or Set-PSSessionConfiguration cmdlets.


The session configuration file that New-PSSessionConfigurationFile creates is a human-readable text file that contains 
a hash table of the session configuration properties and values. The file has a .pssc file name extension.


All parameters of New-PSSessionConfigurationFile are optional, except for the Path parameter. If you omit a parameter, 
the corresponding key in the session configuration file is commented-out, except where noted in the parameter 
description.


A "session configuration" also known as an "endpoint" is a collection of settings on the local computer that define 
the environment for Windows PowerShell sessions (PSSessions) that connect to (terminate at) the computer. All 
PSSessions use a session configuration. To specify a particular session configuration, use the ConfigurationName 
parameter of cmdlets that create a session, such as the New-PSSession cmdlet.


A session configuration file makes it easy to define a session configuration without complex scripts or code 
assemblies. The settings in the file are used in addition to the optional startup script and any assemblies in the 
session configuration.

This cmdlet is introduced in Windows PowerShell 3.0.
