Active Directory Synchronization - Combine Host and Description for Session Name?

Hello Volkan,

The synchronizer only allows either the Common name or the FQDN as the session name.

You could, once the synchronizer completes the importing, run the following Custom PowerShell Command on the RDP entries (select all the RDP entries you want to modify, right-click > Edit > Edit (Special Actions)...) https://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/pscustomactions.html

$Connection.name = $Connection.host + ' - ' + $Connection.description;
$RDM.Save();

The name of the RDP entries will then contain the information you requested.

Best regards,

Thank you, that is cool, i have modified the script a bit that i can run it multiple times on the entries :)
But, how can i this automate for everytime time the entries are updated with the synchronizer?

$Connection.name = ($Connection.host -split '\.')[0]  +  ' - ' + $Connection.description; 
$RDM.Save();

Thank you in advance :)

Hello Volkan,

We spoke with the engineering team and we did some tests internally with the session name suffix parameter of the synchronizer. They will look into adding an option "append description to name" directly in the synchronizer. I will update this post when it is developed.

For now, you can use the previously discussed workaround.

Best regards,

Thank you Richard :)

Hi Richard, any timeline for that feature?

Hello Volkan,

I just verified and the internal ticket is still at the backlog stage. I will notify them that you asked for an update, however.

The team is currently hard at work for the 2021.2 release, which is scheduled for mid-September, they will most likely have a look after that.

Best regards,

Thank you for the fast answer, i'm watiting.... :)

Hi, its now 5 months, is there any update to this topic?

Hello,

We have contacted our Engineering Department and the priority of this ticket has been increased. While we haven't had the time to put this feature on our Roadmap yet, we will try to add it for RDM 2022.3.

We will be in touch when we will have more details to provide on that matter.

Best regards,

Hello,

We have now the option to set the session name to Host and description.



Let us know if that works for you!
