What modules to import to run powershell commands in external script?
Hello,
I have a .ps1 file that has commands I need to run, which works perfectly fine when called via the embedded powershell. However, I have a need to run this script every hour and was thinking of doing so with a scheduled task, but the script fails to execute the RDM specific commands which I assume is because it is outside of the powershell embedded into the RDM UI.
So my question is: Which modules do I need to import or is there support in RDM itself to run such a script on a schedule?
I am using version 12.0.8.0
The commands I need to be able to run are:
Thanks for the help!

did you import the RDM module? You have to import it by the dll name directly..

David,
That's exactly my question. In the rdm folder there are dozens of dll files, which ones do I need to import to run the 4 commands listed?
figured it out, add:
Import-Module "${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\Devolutions\Remote Desktop Manager\RemoteDesktopManager.PowerShellModule.dll

Is there any chance you guys will convert or put in some sort of pointer to make it easier to just do something like 'Import-Module RemoteDesktopManager'

Hi David,
It's already possible to do this if you have at least RDM (Beta) 12.4.0.0:Import-Module RemoteDesktopManager.PowerShellModule
