Scripts & Utils
Trying to wrap my head around some new ways to use RDM.
If I have a library of various powershell scripts and they are stored locally on my machine, as well as a few portable applications, is there any approach with devolutions that would for instance, "install app" and run a simple powershell command to copy the local file to target machine via rdp, then run silent install? Or just to run the script against my local machine?
I was thinking that saving an organized utility library of my scripts to use locally OR be able to easily run via RDM agent on a remote machine might make things much less work, but again, this app is so complex/flexible I'm not sure if designed to do this or not, or too many workarounds required.
any pointers would be welcome

Hello,
Well you have great timing, that my area of concern these last few days.
The issue with remote work is that you usually need perform a setup that may be complex
Our agent removes the need for all of this because it uses an RDP channel to receive commands.
The issue is with the copying of files, we havent introduced that feature yet.
One could use the administrative shares IF you have access to them
We could also use PSExec, it basically has the same limitation.
Using network shares withing the remote infrastructure sounds easy, but we have been struggling with that part ourselves. (shares are typically per user, and when impersonated or elevated they are not the same)
So my current plan is to look into that issue I have with accessing a share.
TL:DR; if the files are already on the remote machine, everything works fine, I am working on a procedure that is fail safe.
Best regards,
Maurice
