Simple way to run a powershell script against all open sessions?

Ctrl + k

Published a year ago

I'm looking for a simple way to run an incredibly simple script against all my open sessions.

Start-Process "msedge.exe" "https://www.example.com"

If I right click the folder I get the option to "Execute script vie RDP Jump" which doesn't seem to be right as I have to install something on every server to do that.

I have also tried setting it up as a "PowerShell Script (remote)" and running it against the folder but that opened PowerShell on my local machine (once for each session) and gave me a tonne of connection errors and also wanted software installed on the server.

Is there a simple way of running a script from a window within RDM against all open sessions?

Hello Jonh,

The most straightforward way to start a process when you connect to a server is to use the Event feature in RDM.

This feature is under the entry properties -> Events -> After open.
You can select multiple ways to interact with the opening of your sessions.

Let me know if this helps.

Best regards,

Unfortunately I get this error:

I'm not sure this would work for me though because this is what I need to do...

I have 48 servers and I need to have a browser and web page open on all of them. I have a powershell script that would open up a broswer on each one with a name and then allow me to run another script which will tell each browser to navigate to a new page.

So I need to be able to run scripts after the session opens but also while the session is running.

Also, I need to run it at group level because setting this up separately on 48 servers would take forever.

Hello John,

Thanks for the feedback.

In this case, may I suggest you look at configuring some jump hosts?
https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/overview/the-devolutions-platform/rdm-jump/#configure-a-jump-host

This will allow you to launch any entry through your sessions.

In your case, it could be a Web entry and a PowerShell entry.

Best regards,
