-# Summary: 
-#   This is intended to be a template for creating connections in bulk. This uses the serializers directly from the mRemoteNG binaries.
-#   You will still need to create the connection info objects, but the library will handle serialization. It is expected that you
-#   are familiar with PowerShell. If this is not the case, reach out to the mRemoteNG community for help.
-# Usage:
-#   Replace or modify the examples that are shown toward the end of the script to create your own connection info objects.
