Back in the day I used to use the sub-entries and a sidebar on the right side of the screen that would list the sub-entries for my various terminals (PowerShell, CMD... ) that held specific typing macros for those with one liners and such.

With that having gone away, could we get that functionality back through the new macro/scripting palette?

It would be nice if we could have something similar to the SSH one you have in place, but be able to add them to any terminal that we setup. I can see some use for myself as well as others on my team having simple oneline commands that could be available for CMD, PowerShell, SSH, iOS/NexxusOS, and more. Being able to build out the lists for those various lists would be nice.

Also being able to select an entire folder of macros would be neat in the current custom selection. I have been arranging my Cisco commands into a folder to make it easier to find them for adding into the custom list, but just grabbing that entire folder or selecting more than one would be nice.

And being able to move that menu to a auto hiding sidebar would be amazing as well.

Excellent product. Used for a decade plus for literally everything and couldn't work without it.

Thanks, guys. As always, excellent service.

Gracias

So I don't have the Linked (vault) option on any of the templates that I use: RDP, SSH, file explorer, command line, SCCM 2012 remote, and Telnet.

Not sure what I was using before I updated to 2024.3.13 as I don't update super regular. Typically once a month or so... more or less when I reboot my machine for updates. Only updated to 2024.3.15 to see if the newest version fixed the issue.

I use templates, for the most part, for quick connect sessions. We have hundreds of switches and servers and it's just easier to slap in a name into the QC box and go. However all of my templates stopped working correctly after updating to 2024.3.13.

Not sure if this was intentional or a new bug introduced. I figure bug since I still have Linked (Vault) in the actual individual sessions. Didn't see anything in the release notes and updated to the latest 2024.3.15 in hopes that it was already fixed.

Just bringing this to your attention since I didn't see any other reports of it, yet.

Sorry this took so long. Thanks to my ADHD, I completely forgot I put this in.

It's a connection to any of the VMWare machines we use. Standard RDP connection from my personally purchased RDM Enterprise.

I'll test the F15 option and see if that gets be better results.

As for running without it being ran as elevated, I can test that at some point to see if that happens. However I run a bunch of tools through RDM that need to be ran with an admin account and it's just easier to run the entire app as that account.

Works great, but the jiggle runs back to the machine I'm working from.

I run RDM as an elevated account (as I need to run various things as elevated for them to work) and for some reason even if RDM is not in focus, when the mouse moved in the VM from the jiggler, it moves it on my machine. It jumps the mouse all the way to the screen where RDM is and moves around in a circle. This means if I'm a screen or 2 over my mouse cursor yeets itself to the other side of my work space.

Can this be prevented? While the RDP tab in RDM is not actively in focus, can it not allow bidirectional input?

I can confirm that I also am having this issue. Thanks for working on it.

Actually I can see the need for either, since it might be worth passing a value from a script to the arguments.

Doing a user lookup from the quick connect comes to mind.

Toss in the user name and a script runs and pulls the machine name from AD or SCCM and then launches PSExec to connect to that machine or Computer Management...

For that matter I could add a script to the RDP to even validate the quick connect value as a computer and if not look up the user and get the computer from there.... that would be a fun one for me to tackle.

I could also see it being useful for our NetApp configuration. Passing a path through Quick Connect could look up the DFS path and the allow me to connect to the correct NetApp cluster to manage.

I think I'll have plenty of ideas that I could do with a custom variable that could be used to pass data from the scripts. Might even be worth creating 2. Before and after scripts output values.

Hate to tag in on an ancient post. Could something like this be available for any connection type. Let's say for safety reasons they should all be the same type to group, but allowing this for any tabs would be great.

Well, I'm wondering if something like having the ability to pass the output directly through a value like $SCRIPT_OUTPUT$?

Modifying the template just to allow for a quick connect session seems like extra overhead on the database. I'm using the cloud db, so would I have to wait for that to update before opening?

We have around 15k user home directories in a single older which crashes RDM and Windows Explorer when trying to open them. So thought I would get crafty and create a template that lets me use the Quick Connect to connect directly to the home directory path.

Started with a File Explorer session and using the Before Open event I run the following PoSh (Get-ADUser $QUICK_CONNECT$ -Properity HomeDirectory).HomeDirectory but I don't know how to pass that to the session's folder field.

Not sure if this is supported. Found all sorts of other things with the built in variables, but nothing that seems to pull the results of an executed script.

Didn't find anything about passing the output to a RDM system variable either. Did I just miss it in the forum or documenation?
