creating a new DS entry from an existing entry using the new Devolutions.Server module

Hello Ed,

This forum thread has a few examples that show what you are trying to accomplish: https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/37471/dvls-module-creating-ssh-tunnel

The following should get you started:

$oldEntry = (Get-DSEntry -EntryId '142c0872-5ab6-440b-bc0e-d624bd84a771').Body.data
$NewEntry = $oldEntry.PSObject.Copy() #Deep copy

#Those properties need to be removed in order to create a new entry
$NewEntry.PSObject.Properties.Remove('id')
$NewEntry.PSObject.Properties.Remove('metaInformation')
$NewEntry.PSObject.Properties.Remove('resolvedInheritedPermissions')
$NewEntry.PSObject.Properties.Remove('resolvedTimeBasedUsageSettings')

#new properties, for example the name and username
$NewEntry.name = 'newEntry'
$NewEntry.userName = 'newUsername'

$NewEntryRes = New-DSEntryBase (ConvertTo-Json $NewEntry)

Best regards,

Thanks! That worked to create a new entry (with a slight change to line 2 - substituted variable name $SSHTunnelEntry with $oldEntry which was probably just a copy/paste issue).

Is this worth creating a new sample script in the Samples directory for this called CopyDSEntry.ps1 or CloneDSEntry.ps1 or something like that?

I could do a PR for this but seems probably overkill for that.

Thanks again. I will attempt to implement using this method.

Hello Ed,

Glad it helped! And you are correct, it was a copy/paste error, I have fixed it in the post above.

I will add it to our samples, thanks for the suggestion.

Best regards,

Hello Ed,

The sample is now available on GitHub as well: https://github.com/Devolutions/devolutions-server/blob/main/Powershell%20Module/Samples/CloneDSEntry.ps1

Let us know if you would like to see anything else there!

Best regards,
