Initialize the connection to the compatibility session.
Initialize-WinSession [[-ComputerName] <String>] [-ConfigurationName <String>] [-Credential <PSCredential>]
[-PassThru] [<CommonParameters>]
Initialize the connection to the compatibility session. By default the compatibility session will be created on the localhost using the 'Microsoft.PowerShell' configuration. On subsequent calls, if a session matching the current specification is found, it will be returned rather than creating a new session. If a matching session is found, but can't be used, it will be closed and a new session will be retrieved.
This command is called by the other commands in this module so you will rarely call this command directly.
Initialize-WinSessionInitialize the default compatibility session.
Initialize-WinSession -ComputerName localhost -ConfigurationName Microsoft.PowerShellInitialize the compatibility session with a specific computer name and configuration
If you don't want to use the default compatibility session, use this parameter to specify the name of the computer on which to create the compatibility session. (Defaults to 'localhost')
