PowerShell - Remote Management

You want to run a command on multiple remote computers and keep the sessions open for later use. Which approach correctly creates sessions for 'Server01' and 'Server02' and stores them for reuse?

A$sessions = New-PSSession -ComputerName Server01 $sessions += New-PSSession -ComputerName Server02 Invoke-Command -Session $sessions -ScriptBlock { hostname }

B$sessions = New-PSSession -ComputerName Server01, Server02 Invoke-Command -ComputerName Server01, Server02 -ScriptBlock { hostname }

CInvoke-Command -ComputerName Server01, Server02 -ScriptBlock { hostname } $sessions = $null

D$sessions = New-PSSession -ComputerName Server01 Invoke-Command -Session $sessions -ScriptBlock { hostname } Remove-PSSession -Session $sessions

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Recall how to create persistent sessions for multiple computers
New-PSSession can take multiple ComputerName values or create separately and collect into an array with +=. Invoke-Command must use -Session $sessions (array) to run on persistent sessions.
Step 2: Evaluate each option
A creates sessions but uses -ComputerName on Invoke-Command, creating temporary connections instead of using persistent ones. B builds the array explicitly and uses -Session. C uses temporary only. D removes sessions.
Final Answer:
$sessions = New-PSSession -ComputerName Server01 $sessions += New-PSSession -ComputerName Server02 Invoke-Command -Session $sessions -ScriptBlock { hostname } -> Option A
Quick Check:
Build session array with +=, use -Session [OK]

Quick Trick: Create and store sessions in a variable array for reuse [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Removing sessions immediately before reuse
Not storing sessions in a variable
Using Invoke-Command without sessions for reuse
