Hey there,
This might be a long shot - BUT.....Is there any browser command you could create e.g. RDM://196.15.21.180 that would then open the above RDM connection in RDM? This would be a game changer for me as my staff could just click the IP's from our shared spreadsheet.
Thanks
Hello Lawrence,
good news - this is already possible! ;)
You can create for every session a web URL => it can be found in the Advanced section from the specified entry.
More infos about you'll find here

Brilliant - is this unique per machine with the possibility of expiring? And is there a way I could export this? We have over 600 entries in our RDM database.
Thanks!
Hello,
Indeed, the session ID is unique per session. There's no possibility to add an expiring date on this link.
To retrieve the Session ID of your sessions, this can be done by PowerShell.
Using (Get-RDMSession).ID should accomplish what you want. If needed, you can consult our specific section on the forum on PowerShell

Thanks Jeff, so just to clear up some confusion - When you say the session ID is unique does that mean 'Active Session' e.g. We reboot the VM it'll get a new session ID?
Hello,
No, you will not get a new session ID after a reboot, it will be the same ID.

Thanks Jeff - Last question - using Powershell would require the VPS to have the RDM Agent installed correct?
If so that's going to be really difficult for us as none of the VM's have the agent installed :/ Is there any other way we could pull session ID's?
Hello,
RDM must be installed on the machine from which you would like to run the entry (rdm://....). The session's target does not need RDM installed.

Sorry I mean for me to use powershell to pull a list of Session ID's - Does RDM agent need to be on each machine
Hello Lawrence,
you can get the ID's from every client that has RDM installed => PowerShell (RDM CmdLet)
RDM Agent must not be installed on the local or remote machine!
To get the Name and ID from all your sessions with *Min* in the name enter this command in the RDM Powershell:
Get-RDMSession | where Name -like "*Min*" | fl Name,ID
