Connect-SMS Cmdlet
Parameters Output Objects Configuration Settings
The Connect-SMS cmdlet is used to create a persistent connection object.
Syntax
$cnn = Connect-SMS [parameters]
Remarks
This cmdlet allows you to create a persistent connection object to be used with related cmdlets.When executing the cmdlet a connection object is returned. Pass this object to the Connection parameter of related cmdlets to use the newly created connection object.
