Windows PowerShell PowerShell02 Sample
======================================

This sample uses a [**RunspacePool**](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd182576) to run multiple commands concurrently. Although commands can be run synchronously using runspace pools, typically runspace pools are used to run commands concurrently.

**Sample Objectives**

This sample demonstrates the following:

1.  Creating a [**RunspacePool**](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd182576) with a minimum and maximum number of Runspaces.
2.  Creating many PowerShell commands with the same [**RunspacePool**](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd182576)
3.  Running the commands concurrently.
4.  Calling [**GetAvailableRunspaces**](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd127653) to see how many Runspaces are free.
5.  Capturing the command output with [**EndInvoke.**](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd182447)
