Session scheme (Intermediate)

There are numerous changes in PowerShell Version 3.0 with respect to PowerShell remote sessions. Previously, in Version 2.0, all remote PSSessions were dependent on the current console session. Now, in Version 3.0, PowerShell maintains the remote PSSession on the remote computer itself, and it is totally independent on the current console session.
