Update password when before Open script is finished

Hello,

Thank you for submitting this scenario.

When we use a Macro/Script/tool, as you mentioned, it modifies the entry in the data source but not in the current session that is running.

A solution would be to use the PowerShell Script option in the Before Open Event that calls your 150 lines script using Import-Module like this.



And to update multiple entries to use this solution, you can update the Before Open properties in a PowerShell script for those multiple entries. These are the properties you need to update.

$session.Events.BeforeConnectionEvent = "PowerShell"
$session.Events.BeforeConnectionEmbeddedPowerShellScript = "Import-Module 'c:\temp\yourscript.ps1' 
# call the function of your script here
 YourFunction 
# update the session's password
$connection.password =  new password 
$RDM.Save();"

Let me know if that helps.

Best regards,

Is it possible to switch to PowerShell 7

Hello,

Yes it's possible in RDM to switch to PowerShell 7.

Head over File - Options - Types - Others to set the PowerShell version parameter to PowerShell 7.



Best regards,

Nice
Do you know if there a group policy setting to set this?

Did not see it in https://kb.devolutions.net/rdm_group_policies.html

Hello,

Sadly no but I have submitted a ticket to our engineering team to add it to the policies. Once an update will be available, we will post it here.

Thank you for your patience.

Hello,

We've added a GPO for setting the PowerShell Version. This should be available for the 2023 version. When setting this policy (Name: DefaultPowerShellVersion), the number set in the Policy will reflect the number order set in the actual options, with 0 meaning that the Policy is disabled.

Essentially:
0 = GPO disabled
1 = Default
2 = Windows PowerShell (2.0)
3 = Windows PowerShell (5.1)
4 = PowerShell 7
