Create Tool for Remote Powershell Session?
This will be a basic question but I have to admit I haven't had much luck understanding how to create a tool.
I want a tool or session entry that opens a remote powershell session. Probably RDM already does this natively but I haven't been able to find it. Under 'Other' in Session Types there is a Powershell entry - maybe I just need help configuring that?
If that is not the right way to do it, how can I create a tool that would run the following script (this is the long-winded way I do it from a Powershell window in my PC now) - with a variable replacing the 'Server' name in the final line below:
$SecurePassword = 'password' | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
$Credential = New-Object Management.Automation.PSCredential 'Domain\administrator', $SecurePassword
Enter-PSSession -Computername Server -Credential $Credential
Do not assume I know anything in your answer - step by step instructions please! Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You can find the Remote PowerShell under Macro/Script/Tool and this could be executed with a selected host/session.

Thanks. I have added the tool and entered the path to my powershell exe, but when I use it it connects but I just get a blinking cursor, with no prompt appearing - I left it for at least 5 minutes but no prompt came up - screenshot in attached document.
Also, how would I get this tool working if I wish to open a remote powershell to a server using different credentials, ie as below
$SecurePassword = 'password' | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
$Credential = New-Object Management.Automation.PSCredential 'Domain\administrator', $SecurePassword
Enter-PSSession -Computername Server1 -Credential $Credential
Cheers
Could you try the local Powershell because I'm not sure that you really need to execute it remote?
