Powershell function to return object

[ad_1]

I want to have in a .ps1 file some code that creates a PSSession that can be used in other .ps1 scripts (in order to avoid code duplication).

At first I thought i need a function that creates a PSSession and returns it but I am confused about how they the function outputs work.

Here is my function:

function newRemoteSession

 param([string]$ipAddress)

 $accountName = 'admin'
 $accountPassword = 'admin'
 $accountPasswordSecure = ConvertTo-SecureString $accountPassword -AsPlainText -Force
 $accountCredential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($accountName, $accountPasswordSecure)

 Try
 
 $remoteSession = New-PSSession -ComputerName $ipAddress -UseSSL -Credential $accountCredential -SessionOption (New-PSSessionOption -SkipCACheck -SkipCNCheck) -ErrorAction Stop
 
 Catch [System.Management.Automation.RuntimeException]#PSRemotingTransportException
 
 Write-Host 'Could not connect with default credentials. Please enter credentials...' 
 $remoteSession = New-PSSession -ComputerName $ipAddress -UseSSL -Credential (Get-Credential) -SessionOption (New-PSSessionOption -SkipCACheck -SkipCNCheck) -ErrorAction Stop
 Break
 

 return $remoteSession

However when I call $s = newRemoteSession(192.168.1.10), $s is empty.
