Increase number of concurrent shells in PowerShell V2

Question

I'd like to increase number of concurrent shells in PowerShell V2.I tried using the following command ,but I got no luck.The error I got is" Error: Invalid use of command line. Type "winrm -?" for help." Can someone shine some light?

winrm set winrm/config/winrs @{MaxShellsPerUser="50"}

Answer 1

From an elevated PowerShell prompt execute:

Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Shell\MaxShellsPerUser 50

Answer 2

I can't activate winrm on my box, but according to MSDN, the syntax is:

winrm set winrm/config @{MaxShellsPerUser="50"}

Answer 3

I'll just add to Keith's answer that you can find the command mentioned and much more in Administrator’s Guide to Windows PowerShell Remoting. It's worth reading!
