Install RDM on Terminal Server

Hi,
Copy the created file remotedesktopmanager.cfg from %AppData%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager into the application installation. RDM will use the default file for you other users.

David,

I'm sorry for being dense here, but what exactly are you saying? We have a similar situation, where we have the program installed on machines, but in most cases we're not going through a terminal server. I just install the application and copy that file from a working machine into the newly installed application and it picks up the settings?

Where do I copy the file?

Thanks,
Mark

Hi,
We have something better now with the SQL Server data source:

Take a look at the tip #3 you will see that you can enter the serial number in Administration->Data Source Settings

You can also copy the configuration file from %LocalAppData%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager to your other machine.

It's saved in remotedesktopmanager.cfg

Thanks David,

That helps a lot, but I have some follow-up questions. I'm very interested in setting up Security Groups, but my understanding was that it was all done through the Datasource Username, but I see in the logs you are also grabbing the Windows Username. Are security/roles and groups done through the Windows username?

Right now we just have our operators locked down by installing their application with a readonly datasource user for the SQL DB, but it seems we can be much more granular. Right?

As far as tip #3, if I put the key in the datasource settings, does that put an entry in the SQL DB that is read when the datasource is setup after the client install?

Hi Mark,
The Windows username is here for auditing only. It's not used if you don't use the integrated security mode or RDMS:

For the tip#3, it saved in the database and read after the installation. This is why all our installations start with a 30 day-trial. It's to make sure that RDM is able to connect to the database.
