Importing sessions
I have a rather extensive Putty Connection Manager database. Is there anyway to import it into RDM? (databases are in .dat files)
I have also been using a copy of Visionapps v1.5 for a while now. The database exports of this application ends with .vrb
When attempting to import them into RDM, the only selections for visionapps is .vrd and .vre
Is there away to import this as well?
thanks!!

Hi,
Do you the database or the format for Putty Connection Manager? For VisionApp, I don't remember exactly where, but it's possible to export the session (I think it's without the credentials) in a vre file. Maybe someone will be able to help you more than me.

I am not sure I follow regarding your first question. I am using the Putty built-in database model. Checking around the options, I did notice I can export everything via XML. Is that importable?
I'll take a look at visionapps. Maybe I'm missing some options
thanks again for your time David!
It's not yet but if you can send me the xml by email. I will create an importer for that.

I am having the same issue I currently use Putty Connection manager and would like to just import the xml or .dat file into the remote desktop manager. Any help would be great.
We don't have an import for Putty Connection manager, but I'm sure we can it to imported via RDM's PowerShell CmdLets.
Stay tuned...

Here it is (attached)
- Save attached file to disk
- Start RDM PowerShell, Tools -> PowerShell (RDM CmdLet)
- type: "C:\Path\to\PS\1\File\ImportPutty.ps1" "C:\Path\To\Putty\Connection\Manager\sample.dat"
- Refresh RDM sessions
Now this script is provided as is, no guarantee.
The session hierarchy is preserved, but I'm not importing every value from the .dat file. Feel free do modify as need be.

ImportPutty.ps1
Here is what I get when I open the PowerShell and run the command:
PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Devolutions\Remote Desktop Manager> "c:\users\layftr\downloads\ImportPutty.ps1" "e:\PuttyDB\DRBA.dat"
At line:1 char:45
+ "c:\users\layftr\downloads\ImportPutty.ps1" "e:\PuttyDB\DRBA.dat"
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unexpected token '"e:\PuttyDB\DRBA.dat"' in expression or statement.
+ CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnexpectedToken
me bad, try (no double quotes arround the ps1 path:
c:\users\layftr\downloads\ImportPutty.ps1 "e:\PuttyDB\DRBA.dat"
