Session object (WSManDisp.h)

Defines operations and session settings. Any Windows Remote Management operations require creation of a Session that connects to a remote computer, base management controller (BMC), or the local computer. WinRM network operations include getting, writing, or enumerating data, or invoking methods. The methods of the Session object mirror the basic operations defined in the WS-Management protocol.
