I will do that in the morning, and get back to you. To clarify though, you want me to make a new local data source or use the existing one?

Answers below:

  • What version of RDM do you currently use? - version 2022.2.21.0 64-bit

  • What type of data source do you use? - local data source

  • Does this behavior affect all of your session entries? - yes

  • If you use RDM with other users, do these users also experience this behavior? - I'm the only user presently

Thanks.

RDM still indicating an open Remote Desktop session, after logging off the remote server

When I connect to and log in to a remote server in our office using RDM, the UI shows the open session as green arrow, indicating the open session. When I sign off the remote server, the green arrow persists, as if I still have an open session on the server. I would expect the green icon to flip back to the normal blue icon, indicating the session has been closed.

Having the icon still show as green (session open) is misleading, and I then have to manually close the session in RDM. Surely, when I log the session off, the green icon should revert to the normal blue automatically? Am I missing something about the behaviour of the UI? My attached screenshot shows what I mean. I logged off the server and it still shows a session open (ie. the green arrow).

Problem importing RDM config settings from old to new laptop

I've watched the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFsRwLKWX7M that shows how to export RDM config settings from one Windows device to another, in this case my old laptop to my new one. It's very clear and seems simple, but I'm having a problem where the import complains about not finding my CFG file. The reason is that on my old laptop (which is a Domain member) my user name is 'citpaj', which is my Domain user name. Therefore my users folder, containing my AppData etc. would be C:\Users\citpaj.

However, on the new laptop my users folder is C:\Users\citpaj.<DOMAIN_NAME> - the reason is that the new laptop already had a LOCAL Windows user ID called citpaj, before I joined it to the Domain - this is normal Windows behaviour as you will know. This difference between the old and new folder paths is causing RDM to not be able to find the config settings file when I import the file - it prompts to restart before continiing the import, which I believe is normal.

Can anyone help me figure out how to import the exported config settings file?

Thanks in advance.

User ID / password related question about Remote Desktop Manager (Devolutions)

I use my Domain Admin account when accessing most of my Remote Desktop servers. I have my servers arranged in various folders within Remote Desktop Manager. It's tedious to open the properties of every server to configure a user ID and password. Is there an easier way to configure the user ID and password properties for multiple servers?

Thanks.

Configure Remote Desktop screen resolution size for Remote Desktop connections

I have two questions about Remote Desktop Connections, when using Remote Desktop Manager (Devolutions), shown below:

  1. Can someone explain if it's possible to change the size of the Remote Desktop Connection screen resoluton (display size) on remote desktop connections? I'd like to configure my connections to use 1440 x 400, but don't see a way to do that.

  2. If it is possible do do what I asked in question 1), can a specifc folder containing a group of Remote Desktop connections be configured to apply those screen resolution (display size) settings to all servers within that folder?

Thanks.

PJ.
