Receive-PSSession

Short description
Gets results of commands in disconnected sessions

Syntax


Description
The Receive-PSSession cmdlet gets the results of commands running in Windows PowerShell sessions ("PSSession") that 
were disconnected. If the session is currently connected, Receive-PSSession gets the results of commands that were 
running when the session was disconnected. If the session is still disconnected, Receive-PSSession connects to the 
session, resumes any commands that were suspended, and gets the results of commands running in the session.


You can use a Receive-PSSession in addition to or in place of a Connect-PSSession command. Receive-PSSession can 
connect to any disconnected or reconnected session, including those that were started in other sessions or on other 
computers.


Receive-PSSession works on PSSessions that were disconnected intentionally, such as by using the Disconnect-PSSession 
cmdlet or the InDisconnectedSession parameter of the Invoke-Command cmdlet, or unintentionally, such as by a network 
interruption.


If you use the Receive-PSSession cmdlet to connect to a session in which no commands are running or suspended, 
Receive-PSSession connects to the session, but returns no output or errors.


For more information about the Disconnected Sessions feature, see about_Remote_Disconnected_Sessions.


This cmdlet is introduced in Windows PowerShell 3.0.
