Maurice,

My problem is that i want to run it on schedule for example i want to run it on all sessions once a week

is there a way to do that from batch actions?

Initiate Load From Inventory via Powershell

Hi i'm looking for a way to make a powershell loop that will go through sessions and will pretty much simulate the "Infromation>load from inventory" button.

I can loop through the sessions now i only need to find a way to initiate the load from inventory any ideas how?

thank you !

You create a specific credentials and re-use in all you entries. It's true that you will have to enter the host for all your entry. We are about to release a new build with one fix but I'm not sure it's related. Does it open the web page when you click on the button next to the host field?

For the iLo could you try to create a separate web connection and try it to see if it works? Start a a new thread with a print screen if it does work.

Ok so i think I found out why it comes up with the windows credential popup.

When i created a web browser session and used the discover to find the form information it found "ID_SPNEGO" for the logon button ID.

When i used chrome to examine the logon button element it has the following ID "ID_LOGON" so when I changed the logon button ID to "ID_LOGON" it logs in perfectly and i dont see the annoying windows popup.

Could you fix it in in the RDM to use the "ID_LOGON" id for the logon button?

Thanks!!

I'm on version 10.0.19.0 and when trying to use the spiceworks integration i get "unable to retrieve the groups"

Also the implementation doesnt seem to make much sense since it seem to require me to configure the spiceworks host and login info in each session rather then just have one session for spiceworks and link to that session.

Also it seems no one addressed my issue with iLO a few pages back with the windows authentication popup that doesnt seem to do anything.

Thanks.

Session Information tab.

Hi everyone,

I was wonering if there is an automatic way to popluate the information tab for a session.

I mean with the admin credentials RDM should be able to gather all the information from a windows server session for example.

Please let me know.

Thanks.

When i try to use the new iLO setting in the tools section (Host>Tools>ILO) i keep getting a windows security authentication window even though my iLO is not authenticated with AD.

The credentials are populated in the browser window and if i click cancel on the windows security and just click the login button in the browser window i can connect successfully can you please fix this bug so i dont see the windows security authentication since its not needed in this context ?

Thanks !!

Edit: I've attached a screenshot of the issue.

Awesome thank you very much !!

Keep up the awesome work you guys are doing with this amazing product.

Please add Powershell support to Session>events

It seems that session>events>script only supports vbscript.

Since vbscript is a dying language can you please add powershell support.

Thank you.

Could you post an export of a session that the password does not work? Make sure to enable the password variable in Advanced

I didnt know that i needed to enable the password variable in advanced settings that did the trick thanks.

@the_mentor - I'm working on the &quotRun-As&quot feature. What other session types would you need this on the most? Command Line is already working. Anything else?

Command Line, Powershell, SQL, Windows Explorer.

It will be nice if there was a Session type to start applications but I've been using the command Line session to start some of my apps and its been working ok.

I really appreciate all your hard work that's the main reason I've been using RDM in every company I go to for years !!!

Also i've noticed a little bug with the $PASSWORD$ variable in powershell/command line when working with the &quotMy credentials it doesnt seem to input the password for some reason.

I have a feature request and i cant stress how important it will be for me and i'm sure for many other RDM users.

I use RDM to execute embedded versions of applications.

at the moment I can only run applications as administrator (this is the local computer administrator) when I want to run the application as another user for example my domain admin user i have to deal with messy runAs commands etc and it works very poorly.

I would love to have the same functionality as windows shift right click>run as different user for things like CMD/Powershell etc in RDM.

Thank you very much for your amazing work!!!!

I cant imagine doing IT without RDM.

@Krude

André is taking care of the tab order, sorry about that

@the_mentor

It's in File->Templates

Cool i found it!!

I feel like this should be somewhere more accessible or a place that makes more sense since i would never guess to look in templates for this option.

I was wondering if its possible to have more then one set of "My Personal Credentials" since for different devices i have a different set of credentials that i don't want to be saved in the database.

Thanks.

@the_mentor - We (finally) found SQLite password bug, the fix will be in the next beta release. With the next release, modify the SQLite data source, re-type the password and save. Your data source should now open without error.

Thank you very much!!

Could you go in Help->Diagnostic to see if you have an issue with the FIPS policy?

I'm on 8.9.12.0 and i've attached a screenshot of my diag screen.

Also i've imported the RDD file and had to remap the path to my testDB file but i'm having the same issue.

@the_mentor - does the SQLite file have a password?

Ya I forgot to include it the password is "Letmein!"

@the_mentor - Could you please create a new SQLite data source with a single RDP session (no credentials), reproduce the error and send me the .db file.

Now are you changing the password? File -> Manage Password?

Best regards,

To change the password I go to File>Manage Password.

I've attached a copy of the SQLite DB file.

@the_mentor - Could you help me reproduce the issue.

I've did the following:

- create a new SQLite data source with password &quottest&quot + &quotalways ask&quot unchecked

- selected the data source - open OK

- checked always ask

- prompted for password - open OK

- unchecked always ask - open OK

- changed password to &quotoops&quot - open OK

- ...

I've iterated a few times between check/unchecked &quotalways ask&quot & changing the password and have not been able to reproduce the error.

Are the repro steps correct? What I'm I missing?

Attached is my SQLite file. Can you try to connect to it? It contains a single RDP session. Password &quotoops&quot.

Best regards,

I've just tried the same thing with your file and I get the same error.

I've attached a zip with few screenshot so you can see my settings.

Thanks.

@the_mentor - This should do the trick: edit your data source, uncheck "always ask for password" & re-type your password in the password text box.

That's exactly what i did but its not working for some reason.

I've also tried removing the data source and re-adding it after i did the password change and that doesn't work either.

Also i've just noticed that the set as default button is grayed out as well im not sure why or if its related.

I'm on 8.9.12 and I'm having an issue saving the password in the Datasource.

My data source type is SQLite, When I go to the datasource configuration and un-check the "always ask for password" option and enter my password after saving my settings i get the following errors:

The current datasource is unavailable.

file is encrypted or is not a database

file is encrypted or is not a database

When I use the "always ask for password" option it works fine so I know its not an issues with my password.

Hi David,

I know about the RunAs command i'm just saying it will be nice if RDM will have a built in runAs option the same way it has run as administrator option so it will will be easier.
