Solution 6: Set Up a Remote PowerShell Session

This exercise is all about leveraging the power of profiles, which you learned about in Chapter 3. You can place the New-PSSession cmdlets for the servers inside the profile.

Open PowerShell, make sure you have created a local profile, and set your remote execution policy to RemoteSigned.
Enter Notepad $profile.
Use the New-PSSession cmdlet followed by the server names you want to manage. If you wanted to connect remotely to Server2 and Server3, for example, the cmdlet would look as follows:
```
New-PSSession Server2, Server3
```
Save the profile in Notepad.
Close the existing PowerShell session.
Reopen the PowerShell session, and verify the remote sessions are created. You can verify the sessions with the Get-PSSession cmdlet.
