I am trying to connect to the exchange powershell session, the connection gets established, and after about 5 - 10 minutes, if i run a get-mailbox command, i get the below error
PS C:\Users\a79270> Get-Mailbox Mailbox
Processing data for a remote command failed with the following error message: Access is denied. For more information,
see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.

When i check to see if the session is active, i see the below
PS C:\Users\a79270> sess.ps1
ComputerName State ConfigurationName Availability
ServerName Broken Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Powershell.2016 None
What am i doing wrong and what settings should i change on my laptop to ensure that the connection remains active and does not break

Thank you Manu And Lucas, i resolved the issue with the connection not being stable. I ended up refreshing the TCP/IP stack and after i restarted the computer, i was able to stay connected without getting disconnected.
earlier in the day, i noticed when i ran a continuous ping that there were packet loss, not too many but there were quite a few packet loss. i realized that and thought i should reset the stack and did the trick i am guess, its been three days and i dont see any disconnections so far.
I sincerely want to thank you for spending time on this issue sir, and hopefully what ever i did might help someone who has similar issues.
The way to reset the TCP/IP Stack is to run the command in an elevated command prompt
"netsh int ip reset"

Hello,
Looks like a session timeout issue. Try to increase it as follows. Set to 10 Min
$so = New-PSSessionOption -IdleTimeout 600000
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri http://<SERVER>/PowerShell/ -Authentication Default -SessionOption $so

Thank you sir,
I have now modified my connection script, this is what i have in the file
$SkypeUname = "Domain\Username"
$SkypePass = cat "C:\Users\Username\OneDrive - Company Name, Inc\Folder\O365-Connections\tenant2.key" | ConvertTo-SecureString
$SkypeCredentials = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $SkypeUname, $SkypePass
$so = New-PSSessionOption -IdleTimeout 600000
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Powershell.2016 -ConnectionUri http://ExchangeServer/PowerShell/?SerializationLevel=Full -Credential $SkypeCredentials -Authentication Kerberos -SessionOption $so
Import-PSSession $Session -DisableNameChecking -AllowClobber
I will wait for about 15 minutes and then let you know whats the status of the issue is.

Thank you very much sir. While i was at work, the connection seemed to be stable. i came back home and connected to the VPN and then i re-established the connection to the on-prem powershell, but it wouldnt stay connected even for 5 minutes.
PS C:\Users\a79270> sess.ps1
ComputerName State ConfigurationName Availability
ServerName Broken Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Powershell.2016 None
why would the state say broken and not disconnected. isnt it supposed to say Disconnected instead? do i have to change settings on my laptop to get this fixed sir?
Thursday, May 28, 2020 3:39 PM
Hi Santhosh,
As I understood correctly, now you are connecting from a different computer. So, please follow the first settings change here again

Sir, i am not using two different computers, its the same laptop that i use while i am at work. however, after i sent the last message, i close the PowerShell window, relaunched it and connected to the on-prem PowerShell session, it has been sometime and the connection is stable. i am not sure why i had to close the window and re-open it. but the connection has been stable so far.. i will continue to monitor this for some more time and let you know what happens. Once again i sincerely thank you for your assistance on this sir.

Thank you Lucas,
No, i have no issues connecting to the o365 Environment. The issue lies with maintaining a stable connection to the on-prem exchange server powershell session. i can connect to the PowerShell session, but it wont work for too long and also when the connection breaks, it comes back asking for password, the moment i put in the password and hit the enter key, it gives me an error like below
PS C:\Users\UserName> TerminatingError(): "No session has been associated with this implicit remoting module."
