PowerShell 2.0: One Cmdlet at a Time 32 Exit-PSSession

Continuing the series looking at new cmdlets available in PowerShell 2.0. This time we look at the Exit-PSSession cmdlet.

What can I do with it?

Exit an interactive PowerShell session that has been opened on a computer which has been enabled for PowerShell remoting.

Example:

Leave an interactive PowerShell session with a computer which has been enabled for PowerShell remoting.

Exit-PSSession

You will notice that the prompt has changed back from

[test01]: PS C:\>

to simply

PS C:\>

Tip: When in an interactive remote session you can also just type Exit to finish the session.

How could I have done this in PowerShell 1.0?

Remoting did not exist in PowerShell 1.0, you would have needed to use Remote Desktop to run an interactive session on a remote server.
