RDM Powershell CMDLets and Shortcut

a) you need to add the snapin:
Add-PsSnapin Remote.Desktop.Manager.8.0.XX
(you current RDM version number)

if you want to load conditionaly:
if ( (Get-PSSnapin -Name Remote.Desktop.Manager.8.0.22 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null ) { Add-PsSnapin Remote.Desktop.Manager.8.0.22 }

b) we would need to add the functionality, I've added it to our todo list

To list available snapins:
Get-PSSnapin-Registered

Note: Every time you install a new version of RDM you will need to register the new SnapIn & change you script to use the new SnapIn. The easiest way to register the new SnapIn is to run the PowerShell via the PowerShell (CdmLet) menu in RDM. It will register the new SnapIn for you.

also if you have multiple data sources you might want to load the specific data source:

Set-RDM-DataSource -ID "8d9b43ce-7bbb-4f20-8ab6-76199fff2a1f";

The data source ID can be found in the Data Source edit window (bottom left)

Thanks I will try this

Sorry where am I adding this?
Is there anything else I need to put prior to this?

added it to the top of you PowerShell script, prior to calling any RDM CmdLet

I get

WARNING: The PowerShell CmdLet feature is only available in the Enterprise Edition!
Set-RDM-DataSource : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'ID' because it is null.

You need RDM Enterprise Edition to use the RDM PowerShell CmdLet feature.

I have a Global license, that why it is a problem.....

What version do you have, we had a bug last week that loaded a different .cfg file when in PowerShell mode. That could explain the license issue.

8.0.12

try the new beta 8.0.23

http://download.devolutions.net/Devolutions.RemoteDesktopManager.Bin.8.0.23.0.zip

The license error should no longer be an issue.

Thanks I will let you know how it goes.

Just extract it to the Program Files (x86) folder?

Get this when I run RDM CmdLet now
Add-PsSnapin : Cannot load Windows PowerShell Snap-In Remote.Desktop.Manager.8.0.23 because of the following error:

@Simon, we are looking into it. We don't why but it fails to load the dll if it's obfuscated which is odd since it worked last week. We are trying to figure out what the deal is. Sorry for the delay.

@Simon are you running on Windows 8?

Try the latest beta build, we've done some changes.

http://download.devolutions.net/Devolutions.RemoteDesktopManager.Bin.8.0.24.0.zip

For some (not yet fully understood reason) it doesn't work on my development machine but works on every other dev/test machine we've tested on. That includes Windows 7, Windows 8 & Windows Server 2012 OS.

Hi Team,
