powershell - add windows explorer session
Hi,
i am trying to create a new windows file explorer session by powershell
$sessionexplorer = New-RDMSession -Type "Addon" -name "c$" $sessionexplorer.ConnectionSubType = "2b657353-30dc-411a-891d-8874e457f35f" $sessionexplorer.OpenEmbedded = $False Set-RDMSession $sessionexplorer
This work's ok, but i can not add the folder and host attributes. These are stored in the addon xml, but that is not initialized when creating a new entry.
When i edit the newly created entry in gui and add a folder and a host, i can read the xml in powershell and edit the values.
$session = Get-RDMSession -name 'c$' [xml]$xmlProperties = $session.AddOn.Properties $xmlProperties.InnerXml $xmlProperties.WindowsExplorerConfiguration.Folder = "folder" $xmlProperties.WindowsExplorerConfiguration.Host = "host" $session.AddOn.Properties = $xmlProperties.InnerXml Set-RDMSession $session
How to initialize the "WindowsExplorerConfiguration" for a new entry in powershell ?
There are a lot of "RemoteDesktopManager.AddOn" objects, but i can't find one for windows file explorer...

Hello,
What RDM version are you using?
And what data source type are you using?

Hello,
RDM is version 2020.1.20.0 64-Bit
Datasource for testing right now is a SQLite DB.
Hello,
Thank you for the information.
Could you please try the following? That should be easier than trying to create or edit XML code!
$newSession = New-RDMSession -Type 'AddOn' -Name 'c$' $newSession.ConnectionType = 'FileExplorer' $newSession.FileExplorer.Host = 'host' $newSession.FileExplorer.Folder = 'folder' Set-RDMSession -Session $newSession Update-RDMUI

Hello,
Because of the version you are using, this will not be possible to use the code I have provided.
The provided sample script is working from RDM beta 2020.2.4 or higher as we have modified how the File Explorer entry type is handled in RDM.
Sorry about that!

Hi, so this will work with one of the next releases ?
OK, i will wait and give it a try then. For now i found a workaround by exporting the addon xml to a file and append that to the newly created entries...
Thank you.
Hello,
Indeed and it is already available in RDM Beta 2020.2.6 you can download here.

Your workaround is really interesting. Thank you for this hint.
