Move a Server group and all children to another folder
Hi
As the title says I'd like to move a server and its connections into a different folder. Is there a powershell command to do this easily?
The issue I have is that I create a server using a template as so:
$session = New-RDMSession -Name "TestCustomer1" -Group "Customers\Test1" -TemplateID "99d11076-8e4e-468c-ae14-badc08affb54" -Kind "TemplateGroup" Set-RDMSession $session -Refresh;
But it seems to ignore the -Group flag and places it at the root in the navigation hierarchy, just below the main server node. The template places things as expected if I right click on the Customers folder and choose Add-> Add From Template, but not when done via powershell.
So, is there a second command I can run after creating my server session?
Thanks!
Update: After creating, clickiong and dragging the new server into the folder does exactly what I want, however I will be making a great deal of these and it would be awesome if there was just a command I could run after each creation. So, basically I want to mimmic the click and drag method via powershell

Did you include the ; for the syntax, or break this up into 2 lines?
$session = New-RDMSession -Name "TestCustomer1" -Group "Customers\Test1" -TemplateID "99d11076-8e4e-468c-ae14-badc08affb54" -Kind "TemplateGroup"
Set-RDMSession $session -Refresh

Yeah I execute those as 2 lines, copy paste error in my post sorry, will fix.
If it makes a difference I'm still running 11.6.2.0, but we should be upgrading to 12 very soon. Not sure if that makes a difference with this or not.
As a current work around I've done the following:
1) create the new session from template
2) set the $session[0] (the parent)
3) update the $session[0].Group to desired path
4) Set $session[0]
5) set all the child element groups as so: $session[1].Group to desired path including name of the parent
6) Set-RDMSession $session -Refresh
7) create a new session with equivalent name and group to what parent should be
8) $session.GroupDetails.GroupType="Server" (to make it a server)
9) set the custom fields on said server that are needed (they get lost when session is recreated without a template)
10) Set-RDMSession $session -Refresh
And I get the desired outcome. This is of course ridiculous to have to do as it's recreating what I understand is exactly what a template is meant to do, but at least it's functional for now.
My desire would be this:
1) create the new session from template and set
2) some command to move the whole session to another folder group
Hello,
We have been able to reproduce your issue and a ticket has been submitted to our engineering department.
As a workaround, remove the -Group parameter and add the destination group folder in the value of -Name parameter.$session = New-RDMSession -Name "Customers\Test1\TestCustomer1" -TemplateID "99d11076-8e4e-468c-ae14-badc08affb54" -Kind "TemplateGroup"

Awesome, putting the path in the name instead of using the -Group flag worked!
Thanks!
