How do I modify MaxConcurrentUsers properties of WinRM Session?

PowerShell Help
1

Hello,

There is default limit of 5 users when I create new WinRM session configuration and I do not see a property or way to change that. WsMan itself is configured to allow more then that but I did not find a way to change option for WinRM session configuration.

PS WSMan:\localhost\Shell> Get-PSSessionConfiguration -Name JEA | Select MaxConcurrentUsers

MaxConcurrentUsers

5                 

   WSManConfig: Microsoft.WSMan.Management\WSMan::localhost\Shell

Wow, I’ve never run into that. So this is on a new endpoint you’ve created, you can only get 5 concurrent sessions to it? I’ll have to see if I can replicate that and then fuss with it.

I was using Windows Powershell Web Access and got access denied after 3 sessions which I figured out limitation of PWA (it can be changed in web.config). I assumed it’s limitation of WinRM but it was not. So while this property is there I don’t think it’s being enforced since I was able to create more then 5 sessions with no problems. May be an artifact.

Ah, gotcha. Cool - thanks for the follow-up.
