Automatic Import of Sessions via PowerShell and Devolution Server

Hello,

You can use the VMWare Synchronizer to import machines from VMWare automatically, no PowerShell is required. By default, either RDP or VMRC sessions are created, but you can apply different templates to create other kind of entries, for example SSH. You would need one synchronizer per type of entry you want to create. https://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/commands_creatingtemplates.html


You can then enable the Schedule feature, so it automatically runs every day - https://docs.devolutions.net/kb/devolutions-server/how-to-articles/enable-server-side-synchronizer/

As for the MFA, it can be set to be required for all connections to Devolutions Server - https://docs.devolutions.net/server/web-interface/administration/configuration/server-settings/security/two-factor/

As for the PowerShell, the Github shows all the functions that can be used, with samples: https://github.com/Devolutions/devolutions-server/tree/main/Powershell%20Module
Please note that if your Devolutions Server is 2023.1, you will need to use this module instead, but the same functions are available: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/devolutions.powershell/

This is how you can connect: https://docs.devolutions.net/kb/devolutions-server/how-to-articles/powershell-connectivity/

Please note that the RDM module can also be used, even if RDM is not installed on the machine.

The main advantage of Devolutions Server over SQL is the security features - https://devolutions.net/solutions/use-case/how-organizations-can-use-devolutions-server-to-improve-security-when-authenticating-remote-desktop-manager-users/

There are also several features that are only available with Devolutions Server (or Hub Business for some of them), for example:

• Manage permissions with user groups imported from AD/AAD/Okta (and Okta authentication)
• PAM Module
• Gateway Module
• Emails
• Secure password of file sharing via messages
• Scheduled synchronizers (AD and VMWare)

To receive help during your PoC, simply write to service@devolutions.net, a technician will assist you with the installation and the initial configuration.

Best regards,
