Support for Windows 8, Windows 8.1 / Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2.Support for credential encryption with certificates.Virtual machine connect-to-console support.Users using Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 will need to obtain version 6 or newer of the Remote Desktop Connection client software.įeatures introduced in version 2.7 are as follows – Windows Server Tech Preview (Assume this means 2016).To save you the trouble I will list provide the system requirements and details below – That being said the core features are pretty much all there so don’t let that put you off. I’m planning to be pretty in depth on this post so expect lots of screenshots and info.įirst off where do you get this fancy software? Well seeing as you asked so nicely I shall provide you with a link to the official download page!Ĭurrently we are on version 2.7 although to be fair it isn’t updated very often, the last release was on the 18th November 2014. It’s a great tool that makes life far easier and in this post I’ll cover some of the cool things you can do with it. This is something I had done in the past till I came across the Remote Desktop Connection Manager software from Microsoft. For testing purpose, I’ve commented out the Get-ADComputer command and replace it with a fake list of server (server1 to server100), but you get the idea.I was speaking to somebody recently about how they connect to many remote Windows systems – in this instance they were opening up multiple MSTSC.exe windows and connecting that way. If we want to query AD we need the ActiveDirectory module. The benefits of using an XML file as an input template is that we can customize later on or having multiple versions without changing (with reasonable and valid settings for RDMan) our code/script, but just re-run it will give us a different output. The following step is creating an XML Template. We can filter AD Computer by OU(Organisational Unit), by OperatingSystem, Name, TAG, etc. Feel free to adapt the script to your needs. Most probably AD is your primary Source of Truth in our company for the windows environment. The content can be stored or imported from a file txt/csv or even AD. NET Framework.įirst of all, we need to gather a list of servers in our environment/infrastructure.
In this article, I’ll show how to generate an RDG file with a little bit of help offered by PowerShell and the.
One thing is being tempted, another thing is starting to code without even thinking of the end goal. One of them, for example, is re-invent the wheel, building your own template generator instead of using a parser or a built-in library that manipulates XML. There are ways that are quick and dirty and in general, you need to avoid.
