Awesome, thank you! I know in that link I shared, it was mentioned it could possibly be done by adding creds at the beginning of the script to start the session as a different user but so far I haven't been able to figure it out, even with help.

Per this article, I was able to set up RDP sessions to use LAPS. However, it only works for me with different credentials that can access my AD env. In that post, it was mentioned that you could add the ability to call other credentials to access LAPS in AD in the script presented but no example of it. I am not very good at scripting so was wondering if someone knew how to do that so I can pass my creds that can pull the LAPS password from AD. Thanks.

Ok, Thanks!

I was working with a co-worker installing RDM for the first time and was telling him you can change folder colors in properties. However, when he did and went to User Interface, there was no options like regular objects. I checked one of my colored folders and noticed I couldn't change it so I was wondering if it was removed or did the option get moved somewhere else? Thanks!

Yeah, I see that but I don't know if those different fields I listed are going to break something or where I need to add something where I will have to go in and make edits. In that case, it wouldn't be worth it. I'll check to see.

If you could provide a way to select all on a list of servers in the BeyondTrust console view and allow us to import a mass amount of servers, that would be awesome!

Hi Hubert,

I have approximately 700-800 servers to import now that our company has moved over to BeyondTrust. I was looking for a bulk way to import them all rather than adding one at a time. Ideally, if we had the ability to select all, or groups of servers from the BeyondTrust Console it would make it easier, however, I can't do that now and I'm not sure if that is possible. I was looking at my XML export of the current servers and wondered if I could just replace each server name with a different server and import it that way if that would work. Problem is, I don't know the formatting of XML and the import into RDM well enough to know that not only will it import cleanly but actually work.

I'm looking at an XML export right now and I see some things that may prevent me from using XML to import all of these connections:

First, the <ID> field is different, so is the <Stamp> and <SafePassword> fields. If there were a way to ignore these fields where all I would have to do is just change the server name that is contained in the <URL> and <SystemName> fields, I could work with that. It would still take more time, but faster than adding one server at a time.

So, most of our environment is now under the Beyond Trust Password Safe environment and in using the BT Password Safe console, if you search for servers you see a list and you can click the "plus" icon to basically add the server into the tree list on the left but you cannot highlight multiple servers to add in bulk. But I was wondering if there was a way on the backend to import multiple servers through something like an XML file. I briefly exported one to look at it and there were items in there I'm not familiar with as I'm not really good with modifying XML files. Has anyone tried it or can the Devs confirm that this can be done?

Thanks Mark. I will check it out.

Thank David! I know my group will be happy to know it's being worked on. :)

So, I noticed that the Clipboard option under Local Resources (see screenshot) was disabled for the servers I imported from RoyalTS. Is there any way to globally check the box in RDM without having to do each one manually?

I can confirm that the Enterprise version doesn't have this issue. We received our Enterprise key today so all is definitely good! :cool:

So that worked for me (unchecking the box) but did not work for my co-worker. However, we are in the process of purchasing a global license so he said he would just wait and check it out then.

Thanks for all of your help!!!

Not sure how many you want but these were all of the sub tabs on the first Property screen. Other than the first screen, they should all be the default and I did not change any of the settings of the tabs on the left side.

Hi Mark,

Neither worked for me. SFC said I had no issues and .NET repair tool didn't find any issues. Remember, there are multiple people here in my Dept. experiencing this as well. Are there any logs in the program I can send to you?

Actually, RDCMan worked. I was thinking like you were since the ActiveX control would be the same due to the credentials box that appeared. But I'm able to remote into servers here entering my creds.

Is there anyone upgraded to 1803 over there that can test? I guess another comparison would be to find someone that is working and compare the settings within the RDP properties.

Yep, it works fine there.

I see it. Attaching a screenshot of it. I did send a report off to MS when it prompted me to. Not sure if they actually do anything with them ;)

While we wait to submit the Enterprise version to our application review board to purchase site licenses, some of us are using the Free version of RDM, build 4.5.3.0. We noticed after the upgrade to Windows 10, build 1803 that was released earlier this week, RDM freezes if you double-click on a server to RDP into and put in your password. As soon as you do, the program locks up and you have to close out via task manager or wait for Windows to tell you to close out. A few of us have reproduced the issue. However, if you attach the username/password to each server in the properties so you don't have to manually type it in, it works fine.

Seems to only be with the Beyond Trust connections. Regular RDP works fine.

Wow, that is what I needed. Thank you so much for the assistance!

Ok, last question and I promise I am done!

In some cases, when an RDP session is open, there is a green circle with an error in it to the left of named sessions in the tree, notifying a user that an RDP session is open. Since yesterday, I don't see that indication anymore. I am not sure if that changed because I changed that one setting from Proxy to Direct but I no longer see it. So I did some testing and when I changed the theme from Office 2016 to Default, before I restarted the app, the icons showed up. But when I restart the app and remote into various sessions, it goes away. Any way to make these stick?

oh, Proxy is selected. I switched it and that part worked. The focus switched and keyboard works.

Now for the second part of my original post. Anyway to change the double click of the servers in the tree to "Reconnect" sessions?

Hi

Are you using the Connect Mode Direct or Proxy?

Best regards,

What do you mean?

Hi Mark,

I am currently using the trial: 13.0.6.0

I've been using Royal TS for several years now and our company is testing RDM due to it having the BeyondTrust add-in for RDP. However, there is something in Royal TS that works that I cannot figure out how to get it to work in RDM.

So when I double click a BeyondTrust-RDP server I have created in my tree, it loads up like an RDP session would normally. But we have a prompt that displays your typical Corporate security message where you have to click "OK" to continue. In Royal TS, the focus switches from the tree to the RDP session so I can press "Enter" on the keyboard to press the "OK" button. With RDM, I have to use my mouse to click on "OK." Is there a way to have the tree focus switch to the RDP focus so that they keyboard will control the session without using the mouse to switch focus?

EDIT: Oh, one other thing I noticed. In Royal TS, if you double-click a server in the tree when your server session is locked, it closes the tab so when you double click it again, it will reconnect allowing you to log on automatically (provided your creds are saved). In RDM, double-clicking an open session does nothing. However, one can right click on the server and click on "Reconnect" which essentially does the same thing. Is there an option to change that in settings....to allow a double-click on an open session to be set to "reconnect?" It wouldn't be a use issue except that BeyondTrust passwords are generated every so often so you never know what your password is should your session lock.
