Hello,
Could you please remove the -CreateSQLLogin switch? This switch is no longer used with the latest RDM version.
You could also try without the -AuthenticationType "Database" as with a SQL data source in RDM, it will automatically set the account as Database authentication.
Let me know if this help to resolve your issue.

Hello,
The following workaround will work to create a new user account on a MySQL data source. You will have to add the Update-RDMUI cmdlet just before the first RDM cmdlet after importing the RDM PowerShell module to update the local cache file.
Import-Module "${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\Devolutions\Remote Desktop Manager\RemoteDesktopManager.PowerShellModule.psd1"
Update-RDMUI
$my_secure_password_string = convertto-securestring "userpassword" -asplaintext -force
$user= New-RDMUser -Login "User" -CreateSQLServerLogin -AuthentificationType "Database" -Email "useraccount@mydomain.com" -Password $my_secure_password_string

Good Morning,
thank you for the fast support.
After removing the paramters "CreateSQLServerLogin" and "AuthentificationType" and adding the "Update-RDMUI" cmdlet, i was able to create users.
Best regards

Using a MSQL Database:
It seems like Set-RDMUser (or New-RDMUser with the -SetUser flag) disassociates from the database. I'm trying to create users using the -IntegratedSecurity and -SkipCreateSQLServerLogin and it complains every single time with a popup that it cannot identify the user.
"Cannot find the login 'domain\user', because it does not exist or you do not have permission."
However, it does successfully create it in the user tab.
I've added a "Update-RDMUI" after each call to Set-RDMUser so work around this annoyance. But a root cause would be nice.

Hello,
Could you please send me the command line that creates the user account?
If you're using the same command line I have posted in my previous message, could you please try it with RDM version 2019.1.41?
