Create desktop shortcut for session/group

yes you can create a shortcut:
either in the settings of each sesstion (last tab)
or by creating them manually e.g. with the rdm powershell modul using the following commandline parameters:
http://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/index.html?installation_commandlinearguments.htm
the follwoing scripts create a shortcut for every session to the startmenu
$list = get-RDM-DataSource
Set-RDM-DataSource $list.id
$datasourceid = $list.ID
$list = get-RDM-Session
$RunIn = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Devolutions\Remote Desktop Manager\"
$ExeName = "RemoteDesktopManager.exe"
ForEach ($entry in $list) {
$Ziel = $RunIn + $ExeName
$Arguments = " /Datasource:" + $datasourceid + " /Session:"+$entry.ID
$Name = $entry.Name + " (" + $entry.Group + ")"
$wshShellObject = New-Object -com WScript.Shell
$wshShellLink = $wshShellObject.CreateShortcut("C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\RDM\" + $Name + ".lnk")
$wshShellLink.TargetPath = $Ziel
$wshShellLink.Arguments = $Arguments
$wshShellLink.WindowStyle = 1
$wshShellLink.IconLocation = $RunIn + $ExeName
$wshShellLink.WorkingDirectory = $AusfuehrenIn
$wshShellLink.Save()

Ingenious way of using the RDM CmdLet, thank you for sharing

my Ctrl+F isn't working most of the time, so i needed a new solution. working with the searbar of the startmenu...
I've created a task to update my shortcuts and its working very well.
someone problably need to change the way i create the shortcut name, its only for my case usefull

Hi,

Could you try the latest beta please?

Is it possible to get the shortcut to work as if you clicked on the name in RDM, The problem I have is if I already are connected to a computer and click the shortcut I get «A connection is already opened!» I do not get these messes if I click in RDM.

Do you mean if you are already connected to same computer referred by shortcut?

That is correct

Hi,
I can't reproduce it. Do you have the warn if already opened setting set in the session Log tab page?

The Desktop shortcut is for a RDP connection.
The problem is that if you have made a Desktop shortcut for an rdp entry and you use this shortcut to connect to the server, and you do not disconnect, and then trays to connect one more time true the Desktop shortcut you at getting the message “A connection is already opened!” If you connect, you get a new rdp session.
If you do, the same direct in RDM you are not getting any messages and you are connected to the already open RDP session.
It seems that when using Desktop shortcuts the RDM do not find the already open rdp session and therefore starts a new one.

Hi,
That's exactly what I tried but I'm unable to reproduce the problem. Do you open the connection in external mode or embedded?

I open the connection in external mode and I have the Warn if already opened on. However, this is working, as I want when I connect direct in the RDM.

This is now reproduced and fixed. Thank you
