                    New-PSSession -ComputerName $computername -Credential $credentials -SessionOption $sessionIncludePort
                }
            }else{
                try{

                }catch{

                }
            }
if($session.state -eq 'Opened'){write-host "connected."}else{write-host 'NOT connected.'}
