Update Settings

Hi all,

is there a way to configure the update setting under File-> Options -> Program Start via powershell.
I want to set the RDM update behaviour for each user in our deployment.

best regards

Andy

Hello,

Sadly, it is not possible to update the options through the RDM PowerShell module actually. Let me check with the engineering team if we can do something about it. I will get you back shortly.

A workaround could be to set the RDM update behaviour with the policies.Please see the following online help page.

Hello,

Another work around could be to edit the RemoteDesktopManager.cfg file that is located in the Windows user context folder. This is a XML file and it is possible to edit it and add/update the appropriate options. Depending if RDM is running on a stand alone machine or in a RDS environment, the .cfg file is normally located under %localappdata%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager or %appdata%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager.

To get the exact option in the .cfg file, I would recommend you to set them and compare your new .cfg file with a copy of the original file before the modifications.

Thank your for this fast reponse.

Hm, we are managing our devices in a pure Intune environment. I try to import the ADMX template, but this didn´t work for some reason.

But it a good message, that there is a template and RDM listen for registry keys :)

As a workaround we can set the Registry key by powershell oder modify the config file as you suggest:


$fileName = “$env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager\RemoteDesktopManager.cfg”;
$xmldoc = [System.Xml.XmlDocument](Get-Content $fileName);
$element = $xmldoc.CreateElement(“DisableAutoUpdate”)
$element.set_InnerText(“true”)
$xmldoc.option.AppendChild($element)
$xmldoc.Save($fileName);
