RDM freeze after run script

Hello,

What RDM version are you using?

What data source type are you connected to?

Have you installed the RDM PowerShell module on your machine?

Do you get any error when you try to open PowerShell (RDM CmdLet) in Tools menu?



Best regards,

Hello,

I'm using the 2022.3.30.0 64-bit version.

The data source it's an RDP session.

Yes, I installed this module.

I have this line when I launch PowerShell (RDM CmdLet) (see attachment)

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

About the data source, it's the container that holds the entries.

Is it possible to share the PowerShell script you use in the Before Open event?

What entry type are you trying to open that will launch the script?

Best regards,

Hello,

It's a Microsoft Azure SQL

You can see the script in the attachment :


It's an RDP (Microsoft Remote Desktop)

Hello,

Thank you for the information.

I see that the script is verifying that if a VPN connection is already existing on your machine, it will start it. Otherwise it will create the VPN and start it.

Is running this script outside RDM takes as much time as running it in the Before Open event?

If it's faster, could you please save this script in a file and call it from the Before Open event using Import-Module "yourscriptfilename"?

Best regards,

Hello,

Yes, it does.

The script can be running outside RDM, but it takes less time (about 10 seconds).

I forgot to tell you that a use an PowerShell (Local) entry. I put my script in this entry. In my RDP entry in the Before Event, I choose "Macro/Script/Tool" and the location of the PowerShell entry.




I hope that help you.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

Do you get the same behaviour when running the script from a .ps1 file like the following?



Best regards,

Hello,

If my previous solution didn't help, you can try the following method.

As RDM will wait for the PowerShell process to start when using any PowerShell entry type, try to use a Command line Macro/Script/Tool that will open PowerShell and run your script.



Ensure that the Open embedded/tabbed is disabledd for the Command Line entry.



And set it in the Before Open event of your RDP entry.



Let me know if that solution is faster.

Best regards,

Hello,

Thank you for your answer.

The second solution works perfectly.

I have another question. It's possible to get credentials from a "Password Entry" via script ?

Best regards,
Ferrara Evan

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback and glad that the latter solution worked!

Yes it's possible to get credentials from a Password entry using the Get-RDMSessionUsername and Get-RDMSessionPassword cmdlets.

Let us know if you have further questions about it.

Best regards,

Hello,

Thank you for your answer.

For the moment, I don't have questions about this.
