Struggling with the powershell module

Hello,

I'll get back to you with a working example of the creation of a folder and a child folder as soon as I can.
For the enumerals, I would recommend you post you idea on our Feature Request section.

Regards,

Thank you. I will add my suggestion to the Feature Requests...

Hello,

I kind of ran into the same issue as you did...
For now, I think that this might be a bug, but could you try something on your side?
I got this working :

'aa','bb','cc' | foreach-object {
$Session = New-RDMSession -Name $_ -Type Group
# Since i did not have credentials to link, i commented the line
# $Session.ConnectionCredentialID = [guid]'1310CF82-6FAB-4B7A-9EEA-3E2E451CA2CF'
Set-RDMSession $Session -Refresh
$grpName = $_
Update-RDMUI
'1','2','3' | foreach-object {
$grp = $grpName + '\' + $_
$SubSession = New-RDMSession -Name $_ -Type Group -Group $grpName
Set-RDMSession $SubSession -Refresh
Update-RDMUI
}
}


I just used double letters folder, it seems that there is something with naming folder with a single letter (to be confirmed)

Thoughts?

Regards,

The single letters were just an example.. the folders I'll be using definitely have names longer than that :-)

But, I will give this a shot in the morning. Thank you!

I am working on it now, and so far, I am making progress.
One thing - when the first folder is created, it does get set, and the CredentialConnecitonID gets set properly. However, when I check the folder Properties in the UI, I get an error saying "Unable to find the credential entry, this setting will be lost!", and the Credentials setting is set to Credential Repository with no credential selected.
I have the root folder set to use the correct ID (95% of my uses), which is should inherit.

Thank you again :-)

Hello,

I'm sorry for the delay.
I think you might be interested in this article : https://forum.devolutions.net/topic23912-programmatically-assigning-various-credentials-to-entries.aspx.

I hope this helps!

Best regards,

That's one of my goto articles to get those references :-) I still don't understand where the lost credential prompt is coming from :-(

David F.

Hello,

Sorry for the long delay, I'm very curious to see the script, would it be possible for you to share it with me? (maybe through email if your not comfortable here support@devolutions.net)
If you could just trim it a little to get it at its simplest, that be appreciated.

Best regards,

I should finally have some time to get back to this and hopefully finish it up. I'll be happy to share it once I get it right.

I'll post the key snippets and attach the real thing.

Thank you again for your help..

David F.

Arrggh.. I finally got a chance to go back and work on this.. and the link you provided is going 404 with an ASP.Net error..
Server Error in '/' Application.The resource cannot be found.Description: HTTP 404.

I have to admit, so far, this has been the hardest PS thing I've tried to do... It seems to me to be just a lot harder than it should be.. :-( I'd refer back to my original post about the PS module (except I haven't figured out the search engine in the forum).

Are there any good sample scripts of creating folders & entries in powershell using the current PS module?
Also, right now, I can't seem to do anything unless I use the embedded tab session (Powershell (RDM CmdLet)) otherwise, I get access denied, and with the issue of the embedded tab screwing up 99% of the time, I'm really struggling with this. (I have put this up as an issue.. I thought I had tracked it down, but I was wrong. I've used this across several environments, and it is virtually always a problem.

Hello,

The link i provided had included a final dot that broke it. please try : https://forum.devolutions.net/topic23912-programmatically-assigning-various-credentials-to-entries.aspx

Since the powershell module hasn't changed much, most of what you'll find will work.
The PowerShell Repository section of the forum can be found here: https://forum.devolutions.net/forum42-remote-desktop-manager--powershell-repository.aspx (i guess you already figured that out).
When you perform a search on our forum, you can filter the result by selecting the appropriate channel (Remote Desktop Manager - PowerShell Repository)

Would you mind sending me a screen capture of your Access denied error?

Thanks for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Ok.. I attached the picture I get when trying to connect to the server, and the settings for that connection. This connection always worked until I had to change my password.

And here are the settings from powershell.. (sanitized)

Hello,

I can't figure out what can be wrong on your implementation, but here's a tiny piece of code that create a Folder, a sub folder, and a RDP connection, all set to inherited for the credentials, I have set a credential entry that I linked to the root, and all works fine.


$folder1 = New-RDMSession -Type Group -Name "Folder1"
$folder1.CredentialConnectionID = "1310CF82-6FAB-4B7A-9EEA-3E2E451CA2CF"
Set-RDMSession $folder1 -Refresh

Update-RDMUI

$folder11 = New-RDMSession -Type Group -Name "Folder11" -Group $folder1.Group
$folder11.CredentialConnectionID = "1310CF82-6FAB-4B7A-9EEA-3E2E451CA2CF"
Set-RDMSession $folder11 -Refresh

Update-RDMUI

$ns = New-RDMSession -Group $folder11.Group -Type RDPConfigured -Host "qa-w107.westeros.loc" -Name "RDP1"
$ns.CredentialConnectionID = "1310CF82-6FAB-4B7A-9EEA-3E2E451CA2CF"
Set-RDMSession $ns -Refresh


Here's the result :


Thoughts?
