Help with update

avatar

Hi,
I administer a company in which we use Remote Desktop Manager in more than 20 computers, with a shared database and more than 100 users. I need to update RDM to a new version, that will upgrade the database. Once I upgrade the first computer, nobody will be able to open the database until his computer is also updated.
Is there a way to launch a masive update with some script that can update the RDM in ALL computers at the same time?

Hello,

Yes, it is possible to update RDM through GPO. This method ensures that every user is forced to upgrade before running RDM. I have found some documentation that could help you with this process: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/group-policy/use-group-policy-to install-software

If you have any additional questions, concerns, or require further support, please let me know, and I'll be more than happy to help.

Best regards,

Thanks for the answer. However, we don't manage Active Directory, so we can't have a GPO onsite to deploy the software. I would need some procedure to do it remotely with PowerShell. If there is a way to update the software with Powershell, we could run a script from a central point to all servers we need to update remotelly.

Hello,

You can use the following documentation to update DVLS using the CLI: https://docs.devolutions.net/kb/devolutions-server/knowledge-base/console-command-line-interface/

Thanks for the link, but it ask me for an account and doesn't let me in, even if I create a new account.

Hello,

Regarding RDM, we don't have a command line interface to deploy it like we do for DVLS.

You will need a tool like SCCM to deploy it.

Hello,

Another tool you can use is deploying or updating RDM with Chocolatey.
https://chocolatey.org/packages/rdm

It could be possible to launch the installation from a PowerShell script.
