Importing multiple SSH/Telnet hosts via host list

Importing multiple SSH/Telnet hosts via host list

avatar

I imported ~150 Linux hosts via an SSH template I created. The Hosts list is a list of hostnames, so it would be nice if the Import Wizard would populate "host" field as well as the "Name" of the connections I'm creating. As it is, I had to choose the "Edit" option during the import and do a Copy|Paste from the "name" field to "host". Is there a variable I missed during the import? Wouldn't it be as easy as the RDP import to have the Wizard populate both fields automagically?

Have you played around with exporting to an .rdm file and editing the exported file? It's in .xml format and you can do mass changes that way. I managed to do some really massive bulk imports and edits using notepad and excel (after adding .xml to the end of the file name) - then importing back into RDM.

Of course, you should test this on a local or otherwise unimportant source so you can get the hang of it...
