Update WSMan limits for AppInsight for IIS

The WSMan provider for Windows PowerShell lets you add, change, clear, and delete WS-Management configuration data on local or remote computers. SolarWinds provides a PowerShell script to update the WSMan limits suitable for AppInsight for IIS, available for download here.

To execute the script, right-click and select Run with PowerShell.

The following parameters apply:

• maxConcurrentUsersDefaultValue - Default value is 5
• maxShellsPerUserDefaultValue - Default value is 5
• maxMemoryPerShellMBDefaultValue - Default value is 150
• serviceRestartRequired - Default value is $false

You can run this script with the default arguments from the PowerShell console or specify each one.

For example:

& '.\Update WsMan Limits.ps1'

This is especially important when importing scripts from third parties, including content posted by other customers in the SolarWinds online IT community, THWACK.
