Description

Generate port number(s) based on the specified parameters.

Examples

Example 1

PS C:\> $port = New-RDMPort -Minimum 50 -Maximum 2048 -IncludeWellKnownPorts -IncludeRegisteredPorts -IncludePortsUsedByOthersSessions

Generate a port between 50 and 2048. The port can be already used by another session, or be a well known or registered port.

Example 2

PS C:\> $port = New-RDMPort -Minimum 10 -Maximum 15 -IncludeWellKnownPorts -IncludeRegisteredPorts -ExcludePort 11,12,13

The port will have a value of either 10, 14 or 15. If another session use one of the ports, that port will be excluded from the possibilities.

Example 3

PS C:\> $ports = New-RDMPort -Count 10

10 ports will be generated and stored in $ports.

Example 4

PS C:\> $sess = Get-RDMSession -Name ARemotePwsh; $sess.PowerShell.Port = New-RDMPort -Minimum 1024; Set-RDMSession -Session $sess -Refresh

The user fetch an existing remote powershell session called ARemotePwsh and change its port. The new port in at least 1024, not a well known port, not a registered port and unused by other sessions. The user save the modification.
