Update properties on Sub-Connections

Disabled

Published 6 years ago

Hello,

I have a bunch of RDPConfigured entries with PowerShellRemoteConsole sub-connections. I recently update all the RDPConfigured entires to use $INFORMATION_MACHINE_NAME$.$MACHINE_DOMAIN$ as the Host as we have multiple domains where its easier to pull in host/domain from information than manually updating each host using the following script:
$sessions = Get-RDMSession |
where {$_.ConnectionType -eq "RDPConfigured"}
foreach ($session in $sessions) {
    $session.Host = 'INFORMATION_MACHINE_NAME$.$MACHINE_DOMAIN$'
    Write-Host "Name: $($session.Name) - Host: $($session.Host)"
    Set-RDMSession $session
}
Write-Host 'Done!'
Update-RDMUI

I'd like to do something similar with all my sub-connections to these entries, updating the host on those to be $PARENT_INFORMATION_MACHINE_NAME$.$PARENT_MACHINE_DOMAIN$. Is there a way to easily call to those sub-connections? I tried using PowerShellRemoteConsole in my where statement, however that doesn't seem to allow child items to be changed.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I guess something like this should work:

$parent = Get-RDMSession | where ConnectionType -eq "RDPConfigured"
$child =  $parent.SubConnections | where {$_.ConnectionType -eq "PowerShellRemoteConsole"}
foreach ($session in $child)
{
 $session.Host = '$PARENT_INFORMATION_MACHINE_NAME$.$PARENT_MACHINE_DOMAIN$'
 Set-RDMSession $parent -refresh
}

Please create always a backup before you run such scripts!

Hi Min,

Sorry for the late response. Your script doesn't seem to update the results. The following vars both pull back results as expected

$parent = Get-RDMSession | where ConnectionType -eq "RDPConfigured"
$child =  $parent.SubConnections | where {$_.ConnectionType -eq "PowerShellRemoteConsole"}

The foreach statement doesn't seem to be updating the Host (or anything as far as I can tell). I wonder if the PSRemote Host line is set as a different name than the RDP Host?

Figured this one out.
I ended up using Advance Search to select all my PSRemote options, then Batch Edited them all with a Powershell script:

$connection.Host = '$PARENT_INFORMATION_MACHINE_NAME$.$PARENT_MACHINE_DOMAIN$'
$RDM.Save();

Thanks!

Hello,

thanks for your feedback! I just updated the script above - it should work now - in case that you'll need it at a later time again 😉
