PowerShell 2.0: One Cmdlet at a Time 38 Get-PSSessionConfiguration

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

What can I do with it?

Session configurations determine the settings used by remote PowerShell sessions to that computer. This cmdlet displays the settings for the current configuration(s) used on the local computer.

Example:

Retrieve the settings used by remote PowerShell sessions on the local computer and display the properties available.

Get-PSSessionConfiguration | Format-List *

How could I have done this in PowerShell 1.0?
