Running RDM Specific PowerShell Commands

Hello Chuck,

The Custom PowerShell commands should help you to modify the entries in a batch. It will be in the form of your last sample code. You can find other samples in the Batch action samples documentation page.

For example, you can use the following commands to set the first character to a capital letter.

$connection.Name = $connection.Name.Substring(0,1).ToUpper() + $connection.Name.Substring(1)
$RDM.Save()

Let us know if that helps.

Best regards,

Thank you. I completely forgot about looking under Edit (Special Actions).

I just ran that on a parent folder (the code that I had from previous version of RDM that worked), and I get the following:

I guess all my code is now outdated after new versions released?:

#UPDATE ENTRIES TO SHOW 1st LETTER AS CAPITAL
$session = Get-RDMSession -Type RDPConfigured
foreach ($sess in $session) {
    $sess.Name = $sess.Name.Substring(0,1).ToUpper() + $sess.Name.Substring(1)
    Set-RDMSession $sess -Refresh
}
$RDM.Save();

#UPDATE ENTRIES TO SHOW ALL LETTERS AS CAPITAL
$session = Get-RDMSession -Type RDPConfigured
foreach ($sess in $session) {
    $sess.Name = $sess.Name.ToUpper()
    Set-RDMSession $sess -Refresh
}
$RDM.Save();

Hello Chuck,

Thank you for your feedback.

I forgot to specify one important thing in my previous post. The Custom PowerShell commands won't support the Devolutions PowerShell module cmdlets. This feature interacts with the properties of the $connection object directly without having to use the cmdlets. To find out which property you want to update, you can use this method to get the List of property names for PowerShell script.

Your code won't work in this feature, but only from PowerShell. And the RDM.Save() is only supported in the Custom PowerShell commands feature.

If you want to modify all RDP entries to be shown with a capital letter as the first character, you need to select all RDP entries using the Advanced Search dialog, then right-click on the selection to run the following commands in the Custom PowerShell commands dialog.

$connection.Name = $connection.Name.Substring(0,1).ToUpper() + $connection.Name.Substring(1)
$RDM.Save()

And to set the name to all upper cases, you can use these commands.

$connection.Name = $connection.Name.ToUpper()
$RDM.Save()

Let me know if that helps.

Thank you, ma'am...

See, that shows you how long it's been since I have had issues in RDM and had to run PowerShell commands to fix things. ;-)

After doing an advanced search with only Condition 1 as: Connection Type > RDP, and selecting all results to run the all upper case PS command, it worked like a champ:

Thank you!

Hello Chuck,

Thank you for your feedback.

I'm glad that the solution provided helped you with all your RDP entries.
