Command Line Arguments, What is Template ID?

Command Line Arguments, What is Template ID?

avatar

From this post in the Online Help (http://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/index.html?installation_commandlinearguments.htm) we have the ability to launch quick connect from the command line but it requires a template ID. How do I learn what the template ID is? Unless I am structuring the command line wrong it isn't simply the name of the template because I've tried that. My goal is to write a command line like,

remotedesktopmanager /Template:{Whatever TEMPLATE ID matches RDP} /Host:{IP Address or Host Name from another database application}


Thanks in advance for your help.

You can find the template id in the Advanced tab page when you edit it.

I went to File>>Templates and edited the shared template called RDP. On the advanced tab i grabbed the Session ID (happens to be: 6371a198-cba1-47ef-b8be-d887c4308e13) and added it to my command which now reads

remotedesktopmanager /Template:6371a198-cba1-47ef-b8be-d887c4308e13 /Host:192.168.0.20

and the command line still tells me: "Remote Desktop Manager 7.6.1.0...ERROR: Unable to find the template!" Are there other required fields I should supply the command line? Am I not allowed to use a shared template?

Could you try with a local template?

Works now thank you. We will need several of our support technicians using a common command for this. Can we clone this local template to other users. What directories might I find the local template in?

Is it [Install Drive]\Users[Username]\AppData\Local\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager\RemoteDesktopManager.cfg

If we copied this file to the profiles of those using it would the "common" command line work across user profiles?

This should work yes
