Hi ,

I have a C# component which executes Powershell scripts in powershell environment. Suddenly it started to show some issues, Now, when I try to execute the following, it shows exception

Enter-PSSession -ComputerName [IP] -Credential abc\admin

The exception is given below...

Enter-PSSession : Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : 
    The WS-Management service cannot process the request. **This user is allowed a maximum 
    number of 5 concurrent shells, which has been exceeded.** Close existing shells or raise 
    the quota for this user. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting 
    Help topic.

    + Enter-PSSession <<<<  -ComputerName [IP] -Credential abc\admin
        + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: ([IP]:String) [Enter-PSSession], 
    PSRemotingTransportException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CreateRemoteRunspaceFailed

I fear, this is because I haven't properly closed / disposed the runspaces created in c# component.
Here is the code extracted from my component

......
	Collection<PSObject> objPS = new Collection<PSObject>();
    PowerShell powershell = PowerShell.Create();
	PSCredential credential = new PSCredential(strUserName, password);
    objRunspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace();
	objRunspace.Open();
	objPS = powershell.Invoke();
	......
	finally 
            {
                objRunspace.Dispose();
			}

I am beating the bush, instead of finding the root cause of this issue.

Thanks...
