Powershell: Get-RDMDataSource -Name "xxx" not working from Powershell

Hello,

What data source type are you using?

What PowerShell version are you using?

Could you please run the Get-RDMDiagnostic and post the result here?

About when you open PowerShell as an administrator, because it runs in a different user context, your RDM configuration cannot be reached in the administrator user context. So in that case, you won't be able to connect on the data source.

Best regards,

Hi,

the data source type is SQL-Server.

PowerShell version:

Name Value
---- -----
PSVersion 5.1.22000.282
PSEdition Desktop
PSCompatibleVersions {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0...}
BuildVersion 10.0.22000.282
CLRVersion 4.0.30319.42000
WSManStackVersion 3.0
PSRemotingProtocolVersion 2.3
SerializationVersion 1.1.0.1

Get-RDMDiagnostic : The term 'Get-RDMDiagnostic' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name,
or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Kind regards,
Matthias

Hello,

What is the result when you run the Get-RDMInstance cmdlet?

If that cmdlet cannot run, have you installed the RDM PowerShell module from PSGallery?

Hello,

Could you please update the RDM PowerShell module to version 2022.1.1.0 with the following command?

Update-Module -Name RemoteDesktopManager

Let me know if you get the correct version with Get-RDMInstance and if that helps to solve your issue.

Best regards,

Hi,

I´ve removed the old module and reinstalled the new module. But I still get the same error:
