Hello.
Is it possible to open a saved session from the command line using a host value?

Hello Alex,

If you go in the properties of an entry, under Entry Information, you can copy the command line to execute the entry. You can then create a shortcut or run it directly from the cmd.

In your method, entry is identified by the Entry ID. I need to open a session through the command line, identifying entry by Host value (DNS name, Ip Address).

Hello Alex,

Unfortunately, you cannot open RDM to launch a connection that way. I assume you want to launch it similarly to mstsc /v:computername

If you have the Enterprise version, you can use PowerShell to create an entry, and then launch that session with the ID. Here is a simple example.

$rdp = New-RDMSession -Name "$computername" -Type RDPConfigured
$rdp.Host = "Name or IP of machine"
Set-RDMSession $rdp -Refresh

#returns the ID of the entry
$rdp.ID


Alternately, you could use the Quick Connect at the top of RDM, simply put the name or IP of the machine you want to connect to:
