Enable-PSSessionConfiguration

Short description
Enables the session configurations on the local computer.

Syntax


Description
The Enable-PSSessionConfiguration cmdlet enables registered session configurations that have been disabled, such as by 
using the Disable-PSSessionConfiguration or Disable-PSRemoting cmdlets, or the AccessMode parameter of 
Register-PSSessionConfiguration. This is an advanced cmdlet that is designed to be used by system administrators to 
manage customized session configurations for their users.


Without parameters, Enable-PSSessionConfiguration enables the Microsoft.PowerShell configuration, which is the default 
configuration that is used for sessions.


Enable-PSSessionConfiguration removes the "Deny_All" setting from the security descriptor of the affected session 
configurations, turns on the listener that accepts requests on any IP address, and restarts the WinRM service. 
Beginning in Windows PowerShell 3.0, Enable-PSSessionConfiguration also sets the value of the Enabled property of the 
session configuration (WSMan:\<computer>\PlugIn\<SessionConfigurationName>\Enabled) to "True". However,  
Enable-PSSessionConfiguration does not remove or change the "Network_Deny_All" (AccessMode=Local) security descriptor 
setting that allows only users of the local computer to use to the session configuration.


The Enable-PSSessionConfiguration cmdlet calls the Set-WSManQuickConfig cmdlet. However, it should not be used to 
enable remoting on the computer. Instead, use the more comprehensive cmdlet, Enable-PSRemoting.
