Running Remote Commands from RDM Console

Running Remote Commands from RDM Console

avatar

Good afternoon folks.

I looked in the KB area for an answer to my below question, so if I missed it somewhere I do apologize.

Is there a way within RDM to issue a remote command such as "gpupdate /force" without having to actually log on to the server itself?

I checked through all the tools and KB areas I could, and couldn't find anything that would allow this.

Thanks!

Hello,

I believe what you could do is apply policies which would then force updates

Here's an artcile explaining how to apply them: https://kb.devolutions.net/rdm_group_policies.html

The "Force Update" policies will be in the General section (which is the first one in the article)

If I am reading this correctly, the only way to do this is to apply a GPO / Registry change within the domain on all servers?

There's nothing under like the "Tools > More Tools" or "Edit > Special Actions > Custom PowerShell Command" that will work?

Hello,

Another way you could do this is by going to System Settings > Version Management

From this option you could configure which version numbers of RDM are accepted within the data source, and leave a custom message.

The custom message could include the URL to download our latest executable for RDM.
