.SYNOPSIS
Make a CimCession that attempts both protocols WSMAN and DCOM.
 
.DESCRIPTION
Make a CimCession that attempts both protocols WSMAN and DCOM.
The trusty Get-WmiObject cmdlet has been around since the early days of PowerShell, but
CIM is the successor to this cmdlet. While the Get-WmiObject cmdlet could only connect
over DCOM ports, CIM can use the WSMAN protocol (PowerShell Remoting Protocol PSRP). The
New-ResilientCimSession is designed to establish a CIM session with one protocol
(preferably WSMAN) and then fail over to the other protocol (DCOM).
 
.PARAMETER ComputerName
Enter a computername to which you need to establish a CIM session.
 
.PARAMETER Protocol
Provide the protocol to attempt first.
 
.PARAMETER Credential
Provide a credential object to use to establish the CIM session.
 
.EXAMPLE
$CimSession = New-ResilientCimSession -ComputerName SERVER01
 
.EXAMPLE
$CimSession = New-ResilientCimSession -ComputerName SERVER02 -Protocol Dcom -Credential (Get-Credential)
