PowerShell 2.0: One Cmdlet at a Time #43 Unregister-PSSessionConfiguration

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

What can I do with it?

Delete PSSessionConfigurations on the local computer.

Example:

View the existing available PSSessionConfigurations with Get-PSSessionConfiguration, remove the BITSTransfer configuration and then confirm it has been removed.

Get-PSSessionConfiguration
Unregister-PSSessionConfiguration -Name BITSTransfer
Get-PSSessionConfiguration

You will see that you are prompted to both confirm and the action and the restart of the WinRM service.

How could I have done this in PowerShell 1.0?

Remoting did not exist in PowerShell 1.0, you would have needed to use Remote Desktop to run an interactive session on a remote server.
