All ready open prompt for a group of boxes

I have a feature request regarding the "warn if already connected" prompt. The Scenario: We have two RDP items in our manager—let's call them "Big" and "Small". Both go to the exact same machine and log in as the exact same user. The only difference is the display setting: "Small" has a manually set resolution, and "Big" adapts to the user's screen. The Issue: We rely on the active user warning to make sure people wait their turn to use this machine. But, if someone is connected to "Big", and a second person clicks "Small", RDM doesn't warn the second person. They connect, the first person gets booted off, and frustration ensues. The Request: Is there a way to group or link distinct entries together so they share the same active connection status? We'd love it if RDM knew that "Big" and "Small" are the same box, so the "This machine is already in use" prompt fires regardless of which version of the entry is clicked.

Split windows

When moving a tab to make a split window, it is dang hard to see the mouse and move it to one of the 5 options. Is there anyway to make this easier to see or a better way to move? Tell me how easy it is to move to one of the four arrows? [image]

Fix dark theme

[image] When using RDM on Windows 11 with a dark theme. The theme works well, but some portions need to be a contrasting color. For example... > White text on a black background looks great, but selected text is basically black as well, so you can't easily see what you are selection. >Some check marks are variations of black or almost black with black check marks. Side note. I have a co-worker with limited eye sight. They would love a high contrast theme.

Restore connections with their last status (connected ✅/disconnected❌)

Hello, I have a small request regarding the Restore sessions feature. Whenever we launch RDM, it displays a window called "Do you want to restore the last opened sessions?" with all the tabs which were open before closing RDM, and we can select which one to keep and open, which is great. Would it be possible to add the 2 following options in this window and/or in main Settings ? 1/ restore the last tabs with their last status (if a tab was open but disconnected, restore the tab without connecting the session. And if a tab was connected, then connect it again after retore) 2/ restore all tabs but don't reconnect any. And would it be possible to add a column with the last status in the retore Session window ? (connected/disconnected) For instance, if a RDP or a SSH session was disconnected on a server when I closed RDM (for an update or whatever), then why would RDM try to connect it ? I hope you'll find that these options make sense for your users, let me know if I can add anything. Have a great day :)

Powershell entry $HOST$ resolution of linked host hostname

Hello, When configuring a powershell entry that is configured to use a linked host, passing the variable $HOST$ into a script retrieves the explicit value from said linked host's attribute, as opposed to resolving the attribute against the linked host. For example, if the linked host's host attribute is 'server.domain.local', that is what the powershell entry script will see when using $HOST$ in a parameter. However if the linked host's 'host' attribute is instead set to '$NAME$.domain.local', then the PowerShell entry will resolve the $NAME$ against itself instead of the linked host, and $HOST$ ends up becomming '<powershell_entry_name>.domain.local'. Would it be possible to change the behaviour so that the PowerShell entry retrieves the static attribute called 'HostResolved' instead of 'Host' from the linked entry? I'm not sure of a scenario where a variable on a 'linkee' entry resolving to the 'linking' entry would be utilized? Please let me know if you would like any additional info. Thanks Joe

Password generator and viewer suggestions

Hello! I have some minor suggestions for the Password generator/viewer in RDM, but they could apply to DVLS web interface too! Can you change the output to a monospace font? It could be the same formatting (including color coding) as in the View password window when "Show password hints" is enabled (see below) Ctrl + C should be a shortcut for Copy to clipboard Add an option to copy the password without automatically clearing the clipboard. It might have happened before, that I copied the password from the generator, pasted it twice in a form to change the password, then tried to paste it in the password manager to save it, but the clipboard has already been cleared. That's how you end up locking yourself out of systems. And with the "paste one (secure)" mode, there's a special behavior for the password generator where it gets cleared after 3 pastes by default, which can be a trap too. I think there should be an option to disable that too. [image] For reference, I have already noted some of these suggestions in a bug report thread 3 years ago. Thank you!

Okta support for remote connections

Our company is moving towards using Okta for RDP and SSH authentication. Is there a plan to incorporate Okta into session connections? I'm asking because the company is pushing for remote desktop tools that provide Okta support.

Open link in new window

I have many Sessions to Websites in RDM for Admin consoles etc. When i right click a link and choose to Open in link in new window it automatically switches to that new window. This is different behavior that when i do this directly in Chrome. I cant seem to find a setting to change this. What i need to do is go through and open several new windows and then start working. Right now i have to: Right Click > Open link in new window Then go back to the first window and do the next one. Kind of a pain.

Lock RDM Console with Devolutions Account

Hi at the moment it not possible to lock RDM with the Devolutions Account ( Created a case 00113800 to check). It is possible to user an application PW but this is store localy so that you must specify that on every device and might be different! Definitly not a good idea, I think it is a MUST that the RDM should be able to lock after a certain time with the account that yoo login like in nearly all similar products in the market. Thx for fix ... or add this. Daniel

Tag inheritance

Hello everyone, I would like to have an option to automatically inherit tags downwards with the option to deactivate this per entry. Similar to permissions, so that new tags can be inherited downwards via a folder within a tagged structure.

Encryption via authentication for offline access

Feature request from a user Hello, One of our users has requested the ability to enforce a policy requiring additional encryption for the local cache of users with offline access, using authentication methods such as Windows Hello. Here are the user's original comments: I saw in the Devolutions Academy and in the general documentation that you can set a password for Offline Security. Unfortunately, I could not find what the enforced policy is for the password. It would be great if a certain policy can be enforced and even better if one could require a user with the privilege of Offline Mode that a form of authentication can be used (for example Windows Hello). The goal I was trying to achieve is to enforce as a company policy to the users that have offline access that their local cache has additional encryption via the authentication. At this moment it seems that it would not be possible. Original Documentation forum thread: https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/43010/offline-security#198349 . Thank you!

Additional columns for AD Dashboard

Hello, Would it be possible to enhance the AD Dashboard entry to show additional columns? Ideally a user could customize which columns are displayed. List of columns would preferably at least match what is possible in the native 'Active Directory Users and Computers' mmc, and if possible allow additions such as UPN to be displayed. Would be great to see that in Web UI as well as RDM. An example use case is help desk needing to copy an existing account, but in order to know which to copy they would want to easily locate an equivalent job title. As such, a column displaying AD attribute 'description' would be useful. Please let me know if any additional info is required. Thanks Joe [image]

How can I disable/hide...

Hello, I just installed 2026.1.10 and a few new things I need to hide from my users: How can I remove the "Live chat" icon? How can I remove the "AI Assistant" icon? I fount the GPO "Disable assistant related features", but it did not remove the icon... How can I remove "Submit a support ticket" in the Help menu? What is the "Disable in-app upselling" GPO for? Thanks a lot for your help! Brgds Andreas

Reset scrollback on keypress like Putty

[image] Hi, I find very useful the behavior in Putty related to setting "Reset scrollback on keypress". Let's make an example. I scroll back an ssh session text watching at older rows (the upper side of the whole session text). with "reset scrollback on display activity" any new message from the device resets the scrollback and I lose the focus - a behavior which everybody I know really hates With the setting "Reset scrollback on keypress" enabled I just hit any key on my keyboard and the session window jumps to current line without having to scroll using scroll-bar or mouse-wheel. Can you deploy this kind of feature on RDM sessions?

improve of macro button

Hi, Team Thank you to create such good production. Here is one area maybe you can make this product better: We could have macro button on terminal, but it has text context after each button, it takes quite some space, is possible change to only show button, the text will fly out when user click on it. It will save space and make GUI more clean and simple. [image] 2nd is possible add a folder selection at right, so user can select different script folder to run differnt script? something like this: [image] Thanks for considering.

SCP to Cisco Routers / Switches

Hi I wanted to use the embedded SCP feature to up / download files to and from Cisco routers and switches. However, all I get are empty navigation panes. CRT / SecureFX can do it, I thought RDM can do it too, but I just cant get it to work. Does anybody know any way to do this? Thanks

RDM WiFi Information

Hello. I needed to enter my Wi-Fi network information. I found the "Wi-Fi Information" component. I entered the data and expected to be able to generate a QR-code for connecting to the network based on the entered information. But no. It would be really cool if this component generated a QR-code for connecting to the network.

Database Optimization dbo.UserInfoHistory

Hi, Could it be possible to get a configurable parameter to limit the tab UserInfoHistory to keep growing ? In a year our database take 52G and after a clean up with a script and schrink, 1.5G We have schedule a cleaning script to keep only the last 30 days. But we need to schrink the database to recover the space. Could it be possible to program in the GUI a parameter to keep 1 to 1000 days for UserInfoHistory ?

Recommended Answer

a year ago

The issue/solution is being discussed via direct message, here is a summary: The issue here has been determined to be the "User specific settings," which, for the time being, are being stored in the dbo.UserAccount table and are creating data bloat in dbo.UserInfoHistory with every update of the user/user settings. We have a task to fix this in the future, but until then, limiting the use of the user specific settings is your best bet. Setting your credentials to "inherited" and overriding them at the folder level can help reduce the number of overrides needed. This approach can help but won’t fully solve the problem.

Feature Request: Enhanced Variable Handling with Programmable Expressions

Hello, I would like to submit a feature request regarding variable handling in Devolutions (RDM / Devolutions Server). From a more developer-oriented perspective, it would be extremely useful to have extended variable capabilities similar to programming languages. 1. Accessing Sub-Properties of Entries (Dictionary-like Access) I was wondering whether it would be possible to reference sub-properties of an entry similar to how dictionaries or objects work in programming languages. For example, if a credential entry is named: Testuser It would be very helpful to access specific properties directly, such as: Testuser.password Testuser.username Testuser.domain This would allow much more flexible and reusable configurations when building dynamic session entries. If such functionality is not currently possible, I would like to formally suggest it as a feature enhancement. 2. Dynamic Naming Based on Parent Folder We have a structure like this: Folder: b-data Session entries below: be-data01 be-data02 be-data03 This list is growing over time. It would be very helpful if we could build entry names dynamically using variables, for example: $PARENT_NAME$ + incremental number This would reduce manual configuration effort and improve scalability when managing many similar entries. 3. String Manipulation / Substring Support in Variables Another real-world example: System name: be-cdc01Web URL: be-cdc.domain.com It would be extremely useful if we could manipulate variables directly, for example: $PARENT_NAME$[-last two characters].domain.com or more generically: substring operations trimming characters basic string replacement simple expressions This would make variable handling significantly more powerful and flexible, especially in larger environments with structured naming conventions. Summary In short, I would like to suggest: Property access for entries (e.g., EntryName.Property) Support for string manipulation in variables Basic expression support in variable handling More programmable, developer-style variable logic This would greatly improve automation and reduce repetitive manual configuration, especially in growing infrastructures. Thank you for considering this request.

Resolved

activate connection with Enter key

Small issue. Before I updated to Remote Desktop Manager 2026.1, when I typed a server name into the search box, it would highlight the first matching entry and then I could hit enter to make it connect. Now, hitting enter does nothing and I have to use the mouse to go up and double-click on the entry to connect. Muscle-memory, quickness, and easy of use would be served by adding that capability back.

Hello, This was reported by other users and it wasn't an intended change. We've made a fix that should be available starting with our next minor update, 2026.1.11.0. We are hoping to release it as soon as we can. Regards,

Add a Disconnect ✂️ feature next to Reconnect (not a log off, just Disconnect to cut the connection)

Hi all, following ticket: https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/51315/is-it-possible-to-add-an-option-to-disconnect-but-keep-the-tab-open-#219738 I open this Feature request: I often need to disconnect from a RDP without doing a log off, but I need to keep the tab open to connect easily later. We have "Reconnect", would it be possible to add a "Disconnect" option ? For instance, with RDP, "Log off", will actually end my session and close all the running programs, which is not at all the same as "disconnecting". "Log off" is the equivalent of "Sign out". Disconnect would simply leave the session as it is and cut the RDP connection. What I "request" (humbly 😅 ) is to be able to stop/cut the connection from RDM directly and keep the tab open. Basically, it would be an action in the menu, like "Reconnect", but it would be "Disconnect": [image] It is useful whenever I need to leave my spot on the server to another admin, and then reconnect later. Currently I have to close the tab to free the connection and then I have to find the host and reopen it later. I hope this feature will get some support, as other Remote Session software have such feature already :) Thank you
