Hi Alex,

I found the use of variables and $PARENT_HOST$. I'll dive into it.

What we are doing with the remote Powershell, is running scripts on the remote computer for maintenance and problem solving. While these are point-of-sale computers, we are not always able to take over the computer via RDP are VNC.

BTW, I'm also keeping an eye on the possibilities of Wayk Now, but at this point we're keeping our costs low.

Hi,

I need some advice on how best to work with subconnection or maybe I need some new features.

We have more than 200 entries of VNC for every store we have. Every store has one main computer, which is the POS computer. We are adding subconnections to this entry, like File Explorer to the same computer or TeamViewer to another computer. Now I want to add a remote Powershell subconnection to this entry and I would like to use the same IP address and credentials as the VNC entry. But I don't see a possibility for this. Is there an option to inherit this information from the subconnection parent entry?

When I create a new Powershell subconnection, I see a field for choosing a host, but I don't know how this works. I unable to add hosts to this list. How does this work?

Now I want to add a remote Powershell subconnection to the more than 200 entries. Is there a way to automate this, so I don't have to manually add 200 sub connections?

Confirmed fixed! :cheers:

See attached file.

We're using SQL Server.

After upgrading to version 14, credential inheritance from a lower folder seems broken. See attached screenshot. Domain name is used double. I've tried reapplying the credentials, but didn't fix the problem.

Directly after upgrading it was not even using the credentials from my private vault. RDM was trying to use my logged on credentials to log in to the remote session.

It would get more interesting for us if it was possible to use the Wayk Now agent to send actions to multiple clients. For example, send a command line command, copy files, reboot, display message, inventory report, etc.

We're looking into using the Active Directory console. We added the column "Last Logon" to the list. When clicking the column header to sort by this column, the column is sorted using varchar instead of datetime type.

Checked and working!

The only thing bugging me, is that the options on the Settings and Advanced tab are all disabled. For external use you provide a command line arguments field. But UltraVNC supports all command line settings on the Settings and Advanced tab. Why not port these settings via command line to the external session? Saves me creating a commandline.

Good to know. Looking forward to it :)

Yes, UltraVNC is selected VNC application.

I also tried UltraVNC to be displayed as external, but then I'm prompted for username and password, despite credentials are selected. It is possible to pass the username and password as commandline arguments to vncviewer.exe (-user and -password), so it would be helpful if you could fixed that.

Even other settings can be passed this way when using UltraVNC external, while these settings are now disabled.

Problem:

We have entries with embedded UltraVNC. When connected with UltraVNC to a remote computer and the remote computer is restarted, RDM will hang and not respond.

What we expect:

When we connect to a remote computer using UltraVNC (outside RDM) and the remote computer is restarted, UltraVNC will wait for the remote computer to be available and reconnect again. We are expecting the same of RDM, while RDM is still responding to user interaction.

What we use:

We're using UltraVNC version of 1.2.1.6 or later. We're using RDM version 13.0.6.0.

Hi Alexandre,

The ask confirmation options is unchecked. When I close RDM and have session opened, I get the question if I really want to close the application. I want RDM to start with these opened sessions the next time I start RDM. When the next time I start RDM, it will first ask me if I want to restore to the last opened connections. But when there is a RDM update available, it comes on top of this window. If I continue to update, after the update when I start RDM, the window to restore the last opened connections is not shown and i can't restore to the last opened connections.

I have not updated from a portable version. This behavior happens every update.

When there is an update available and I also have previous saved connections to be opened, if I click to update now, my saved connections are not available anymore after the RDM update. Please remember these saved connections on updating RDM.

@David, that would be difficult as this is happening to multiple servers and not always the same one.

Unfortunately 12.0.2 is also crashing for no reason. Are you able to catch the unhandled exception to a log? Or send me a debuggable executable, so I can attach VS to it on crashing and get the exception?

Since a few version ago (version 11) I also regularly get error pop when trying to connect to a new RDP session "Failed to reconnect to your remote session. Please try to connect again." (see attachment). In earlier versions I didn't get this error. Also my colleagues don't get these. Sometimes I need to try several times before being able to connect. Maybe it's related, that the session looses connection for a moment, RDM tries to reconnect and then runs into this error, unable to handle. For reference, I reinstalled Windows a few weeks ago and this didn't solve this problem.

Very strange. Look at my output using this code, in the attachment.

I skipped version 12.0.1. I can't confirm 12.0.2 crashing on start. Works for me for now.

%temp% is mapped to local appdata folder. See attachment.

I installed version 12.0.2.0. I don't know if anything is done is this version to prevent the unexpected crashing.

When updating RDM using the pop-up update messagebox, the update for RDM is (temporarely) stored in the roaming profile, causing Windows to show an error that the profile storage space is full.

I would like to see that the update is downloaded in the AppData\Local folder instead. No need to use the roaming profile folder for this.

Yes, all prerequisite software is installed. I reinstalled Windows 10 last weekend including .NET Framework 4.6.2, as I'm also running Visual Studio 2015.

Unexpected crash again today. Pushed the debug button, but unable to debug.

Unfortunately yes. I had three sessions open and was working in a standalone mstsc session, when RDM crashed for no particular reason. I'm using 11.9.6.0.

Yes, it is checked, thanks. But this was not enabled before, so it seems to be automatically checked with the beta version?
