Hi Jason,

I was able to get this going with the session variable.  It looks like if you want to use a session variable for the F5 session then you do have to use  -PassThrough

$F5Session = New-F5Session -LTMName $ltmip_inside -LTMCredentials $mycreds -PassThrough
$vipObject = Get-VirtualServer -F5Session $F5Session -Name $vipName
 
$add = Add-iRuleToVirtualServer -F5Session $F5Session  -InputObject $vipObject -iRuleName $all_MaintRule
Thanks for being persistent with that message.
