Has anyone managed to customize the script to create a group for each server OU. I’m using the Quest AD cmdlets.

I haven`t tried it, you could have a look at a file where the password are set.

How do you include the password? I tried:

$group.logonCredentials.Password = “mypasswordhere”

and also:

[string]$group.logonCredentials.Password = “mypasswordhere”

but get:

Cannot set “password” because only strings can be used as values to set XmlNode properties.

Hi, thanks for your feedback.

Usually I suggest that the script are set up as a scheduled task on a server, so that the config-file are updated i.e. once a day. Then the staff in the IT-department may copy the file from a central file-share whenever they want the latest version containing all servers in the domain. Of course some knowledge on using Windows PowerShell are required to set this up, however, to use the generated config-file there aren`t the need for any PowerShell-knowledge.

I haven`t tested your product, though it seems nice based on the product overview on your website.

This is certainly a reliable and accurate description of how to manage multiple remote desktop connections at once. But many people who want to do this don't have the requisite tech background, hence opt for turnkey remote desktop products. What is your feeling on this?

Hi Jan, I modifed the template this way, but i am getting this error: You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression. At C:\scripts\New-RDCManFile_Quest.ps1:155 char:50 + $file = (@($xml.RDCMan.file.properties)[0]).Clone <<<< () + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (Clone:String) [], RuntimeException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvokeMethodOnNull a0serverList True a0servers True False 4 False False s0serverList True s0servers True False 4 False False

This is a new rdg-file named “demo” containing only one group named “Group01″ and no servers:
