DESCRIPTION
    The Get-CimSession cmdlet gets the Common Information Model (CIM) session objects created in the current Windows 
    PowerShellr session.
    
    If used without any parameters, the cmdlet gets all of the CIM sessions created in the current Windows PowerShell 
    session. You can use the parameters of Get-CimSession to get the sessions that are for particular computers, or 
    you can identify sessions by their names, IDs, or instance IDs.
    
    For more information about Windows PowerShell sessions, see about_CimSessions.
    

PARAMETERS
    -ComputerName []
        Specifies the name of the computer from which to get CIM sessions. Wildcard characters are permitted.
        
        Required?                    false
        Position?                    1
        Default value                none
        Accept pipeline input?       true (ByPropertyName)
        Accept wildcard characters?  false
        
    -Id 
        Specifies the identifier (ID) of the CIM session to get. For multiple IDs, use commas to separate the IDs, or 
        use the range operator (..) to specify a range of IDs.
        
        An ID is an integer that uniquely identifies the CIM session in the current Windows PowerShell session. It is 
        easier to remember and type than InstanceId, but it is unique only within the current Windows PowerShell 
        session.
        
        For more information about the range operator, see about_Operators.
        
        Required?                    true
        Position?                    1
        Default value                none
        Accept pipeline input?       true (ByPropertyName)
        Accept wildcard characters?  false
        
    -InstanceId 
        Specifies the instance IDs of the CIM session to get.
        
        InstanceID is a GUID that uniquely identifies a CIM session. The InstanceID is unique, even when you have 
        multiple sessions running in Windows PowerShell.
        
        The InstanceID is stored in the InstanceID property of the object that represents a CIM session.
        
        Required?                    true
        Position?                    named
        Default value                none
        Accept pipeline input?       true (ByPropertyName)
        Accept wildcard characters?  false
        
    -Name 
        Gets one or more CIM sessions which contain the specified friendly names. Wildcard characters are permitted.
        
        Required?                    true
        Position?                    named
        Default value                none
        Accept pipeline input?       true (ByPropertyName)
        Accept wildcard characters?  false

OUTPUTS
        Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimSession
    
        
    
    
    Example 1: Get CIM sessions from the current wps_2 session
    
    PS C:\> New-CimSession -ComputerName "Server01,Server02"
    PS C:\> Get-CimSession
    Id           : 1 
    Name         : CimSession1 
    InstanceId   : d1413bc3-162a-4cb8-9aec-4d2c61253d59 
    ComputerName : Server01 
    Protocol     : WSMAN 
    Id           : 2 
    
    Name         : CimSession2 
    
    InstanceId   : c0095981-52c5-4e7f-a5bb-c4c680541710 
    
    ComputerName : Server02 
    
    Protocol     : WSMAN
    
    This command first creates CIM sessions by using New-CimSession, and then gets the CIM sessions by using 
    Get-CimSession.
    
    By default, Get-CimSession only gets information about the CIM sessions that exist in the current Windows 
    PowerShell session. Get-CimSession does not get CIM sessions that were created in other Windows PowerShell 
    sessions or that were created on other computers.
    
    
    Example 2: Get the CIM sessions from a specific computer
    
    PS C:\>Get-CimSession -ComputerName "Server02"
    Id           : 2 
    
    Name         : CimSession2 
    
    InstanceId   : c0095981-52c5-4e7f-a5bb-c4c680541710 
    
    ComputerName : Server02 
    
    Protocol     : WSMAN
    
    This command gets the CIM sessions that are connected to the computer named Server02.
    
    
    Example 3: Get a list of CIM sessions and then format the list
    
    PS C:\>Get-CimSession | Format-Table -Property ComputerName,InstanceID
    
    This command gets all of the CIM sessions in the current Windows PowerShell session, and then formats the list in 
    a table containing only the ComputerName and InstanceID parameters.
    
    
    Example 4: Get all CIM sessions that have specific names
    
    PS C:\>Get-CimSession -ComputerName "Serv*"
    Id           : 1 
    
    Name         : CimSession1 
    
    InstanceId   : d1413bc-162a-4cb8-9aec-4d2c61253d59 
    
    ComputerName : Server01 
    
    Protocol     : WSMAN 
    Id           : 2 
    
    Name         : CimSession2 
    
    InstanceId   : c0095981-52c5-4e7f-a5bb-c4c680541710 
    
    ComputerName : Server02 
    
    Protocol     : WSMAN
    
    This command gets all of the CIM sessions that have names that begin with the characters serv.
    
    
    Example 5: Get a specific CIM session
    
    PS C:\>Get-CimSession -ID 2
    
    This command gets the CIM session that has an ID of 2.
