Enter-PSSession with existing session

I created a session with $remote = New-PsSesion ... and I want to use it later interactively.

I tried Enter-PSSesion -Session $remote but it complains Enter-PSSession : Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named parameters. The same happens when using Id parameter.

=== EDIT ===

> New-PSSession

 Id Name            ComputerName    ComputerType    State         ConfigurationName     Availability
 -- ----            ------------    ------------    -----         -----------------     ------------
  1 Session1        localhost       RemoteMachine   Opened        Microsoft.PowerShell     Available



> etsn -Id 1

As stated in the comments to your question, the reason you get this exception is that you wrapped your custom function around the Enter-PSSession cmdlet. Your custom function apparently always specifies the -ComputerName parameter, even if you are not using it.

As -Session is a parameter from a different parameter set than -ComputerName you will not be able to use it unless you modify your wrapper around Enter-PSSession accordingly.
