Quick actions (to set expiration date)

Hello Rick,

There is a way to batch edit for your expiration to all your session.

First of all, you need to do an advanced search to see only the Session you would like to change the Expiration on it.
Here is the way to make an Advanced Search : http://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/index.html?advanced_search.htm

If you don't like this way, you can perform a filter only for your session type : http://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/index.html?view_searchfilter.htm

Once you have filters and selected all your session right click on it and Edit-> Batch Edit-> Batch Actions...
Select the Custom Powershell Command and on the new windows enter this sentence

-------------------
$connection.MetaInformation.Expiration = "2017-12-25T00:00:00-05:00"
$RDM.Save();
-------------------

Do not forget to change the date inside as you would like.

For more information about batch actions please see that Help http://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/batch_actions.htm

Best Regards,

Thanks David for the suggestion!
I figured that I also can select the specific items and run a Batch edit with Custom Powershell Command

By using (Get-date).AddMonths(6) I can even make it dynamic:
$connection.MetaInformation.Expiration = (Get-date).AddMonths(6)
$RDM.Save();Where can I save this Powershell script?

Hello,

It will work only on selected items.

The dynamic way to do it for 6 months is



$connection.MetaInformation.Expiration = (Get-Date).AddMonths(6)
$RDM.Save()


Best Regards,

But can I also save this script somewhere?

Hello Rick,

There are multiple ways you could save the script (using a "text" document entry type to store it, for example) but there are no ways to reuse it directly in the custom powershell batch action. To simplify everything we will add the option to batch change the expiry date in the batch edit.

You will be able to access it by doing the following: select your entries > right click > edit > batch edit > Edit sessions (general settings. In the tab "more" there will be a section to override the expiry date.

This should be easier to use for all of our users. This change will be available in RDM 12.

Regards,

Perfect!
Maybe it's still a good idea to create a script manager where actions like these can be managed and ran easier. Still have a lot more that I would like to script :)

What we could do is in the custom powershell batch action, you can choose whether to write in your own script, or use the script from a specific entry, like a powershell type entry. Do you think it would work well for your scenario?

Regards,

I think that would work, yes.
In that case I would also include a 'recently used'-list so I don't have to browse to my Powershell scripts every time.
