Remote Powershell Script

Hello Andreas,

I can reproduce this behaviour. I will verify with our engineering team to know if there is anything we can do to fix this problem.

In the meantime, I presume the PowerShell Remote Console entry type is working properly in your environment? This will only open a remote console without being able to execute any script.



Best regards,

Hello Andreas,

So the possibility to set a host and credentials in the PowerShell session entry is to be able to use the information within the script by using the corresponding variables.



Would it be a good solution to add the Embedded script section in the PowerShell Remote Console entry type?

Best regards,

Hi Erica

Thanks for the Informations.

Would it be a good solution to add the Embedded script section in the PowerShell Remote Console entry type?

Yes, i need an Option to send a Script via this Type. Would be great to have this added!

In Future i want to run a Script before a Connection is opening. So it would be nice, if the Script Section also could be added on "Macro/Script/Tool" Section:


But on this Type im also missing the "Host" and "Credentials" Section.

With this Type im able to start the specific Script before open a Session via Events:

Hi Andreas,

Thank you for your feedback.

I have submitted an improvement ticket to our engineering team to add the embedded script property in the PowerShell Remote Console entry. Once an update will be available, we will post it here.

About the PowerShell (Remote) Macro/Script/Tool entry type, as it's intended to run against an existing entry like any other remote tools, that's the reason why the Host and Credential section are not available.

About running a script before opening a session, is the Playlist feature would be an appropriate workaround?

Best regards,

Thank you Erica, the Playlist Feature looks quite interessting!
But on every case, i need to have an Option to send a Script trough Remote Powershell Session.

Will looking forward for this Option 😊

Best Regards,
Andreas

Hi Erica

Is there any News about this Problem?
Or is there maybe an option to use this Feature maybe available by using the Remote Agent on the Destination VM?

I want to achieve this:

1. User clicks on a Session Object to connect
2. Before the Session opens, RDM should now automatically launch a predefined Script on a third Machine
3. User Works on the Server

...
On Disconnection:

1. User Disconnects
2. RDM automatically launch another predefined Script on the third Machine

Thanks for any Inputs!

Best Regards,
Andreas

Hello Andreas,

Thank you for your feedback.

The improvement to add the embedded script property in the PowerShell Remote Console entry is still in the backlog. I will ask our engineering team if they can increase the priority of this ticket.

For what you want to achieve, It is possible to use the Before Open and After Close events in the RDP entry set with PowerShell. In that sample, I use the folder variable $COMPUTER_HOST$ that refers to the parent folder's host name.





Let me know if that could be a good solution.

Best regards,

Hi Erica

Thanks for this Example!

Whats the Type of your Example?
Im not able to select "Server" at the bottom left corner. It only shows the already selected Type.

Is this also possible to run the Script as different users (in example by selecting specific Credentials from Vault)?

I tried it right now with 2 Powershell Scripts by using invoke Command (thats the only way i got it running on the remote server). Both Scripts working when running it directly.


But im not able to select those Scripts on Events. The List is empty:



Did i made some missunderstandings?

And when i try to use the Scripts with the Server Connection in a List, it doesnt wait for the Powershell Exit. It just opens the script, opens the connection and directly opens the second script.
But it should start the first script, wait until it closes, then opening the server. And after Disconnect it should run the second Script; or at least an option to specify the run option (serial or parallel) option.

Hello Andreas,

Thank you for your feedback.

The type I'm using in my sample is a Folder.

No it's not possible to run the script as another in the Event section.

The reason why you cannot select the scripts you have created it's because they are PowerShell session entry. To be able to select them, you need to create a PowerShell (Local) Macro/Script/Tool en try type (green icon).



Regarding the script to run before starting the session and the one after closing the session, this will be possible in the Event section. We already have a ticket opened internally to run a script remotely on the machine through the agent as at the moment it's not possible in the Event section.

I'm not sure if it's possible to add a parameter for the Play list to wait for the scripts to be completed before launching the session. I will verify with the engineering team.

Hello,

We've added the possibility to input an Embedded Script in the PowerShell Remote Console entry. You'll find the Edit Embedded Script link text available in the Advanced section of said entry. This should accessible with 2023.1
