SQL Server Management Studio AddOn - runas /netonly

Hi,
I will add a feature request that. Thank you

Done, you can now set the "Net Only".

Until this morning it was impossible to do in code since you can't set the NetOnly option when using ProcessStartInfo and using RunAs.exe is impossible to send the password via a parameter but this morning we got a break through and got it working.

Download the attached dll file and copy into your AddOn folder. Under normal installs it should be here:

%localappdata%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager

Once you let me know all is good, I will publish it via the website.

Best regards,

Nice, that was quick! I am not seeing the ddl in case the attachment did not make it.

Thanks,
Shad

Sorry here is the file (.zip) this time.

Best regards,

(I deleted the file, since it had a bug, see other message in thread)

Thanks, I just tried it, and it seems to work with or without the "Net Only" checkbox checked. I am not sure if it will break anyone else, but maybe we do not need the checkbox if it defaults to Net Only.

It's most probably a "feature" aka bug :-)

Here try this one, will fix always NetOnly bug.

Best regards,

Looks good! The checkbox seems to be working as expected, and I was able to setup and test a few new connections. I'm sure a few other users will like this fix.

I've published the update for the Sql Server Management Studio Add-on

Stefane, would there be any reason, when I have SSMS 2012 installed on my local PC I'm running RDM on, that it pops up with the box "Unable to find SQL Server Management Studio executable!!!"?

Normally I get prompted with a window that allows me to point the add-on the the correct installation location, but in this case, I do not. I'm running Win7 Enterprise w/ SP1 and have SSMS executable installed here: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\Ssms.exe"

Is there a location within RDM that holds all of the external application binary locations that I can edit so that it knows where to look for those applications?

Yep, you just discovered a bug that was fixed last week. Unfortunately the fix is not yet available but luckily there is a work around.

File -> Options -> Path -> Configure Installation Path -> SQL -> SQL Server Management Studio
(see attached image)
Set the path to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio

Why do you need to do this?
Good question, you see the default system defined paths for SSMS are defined using environment variable %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%. The code that test to see if it can find the executable it resolves the variable prior to testing and all is good. The problem happens when it tries to execute the program, the system doesn't resolve the variable (hence the bug) and the execute fails (error message).

Note: prior to setting the full path you will notice that the ["Green check" Application is ready] is checked. This is normal since the verify resolves the variables.

A beta build should be available soon with the fix.

Best regards,

Great, thank you! I saw that "Configure Installation Path" button as I was searching around, but based on its label, I thought it was only related to RDM itself and not 3rd-party apps.
