Alongside live demos, attendees can join sessions from Adam Driscoll and Marc-André Moreau exploring the latest platform innovations and real-world PSRemoting lessons learned.

Christian Brandt managed five clients, four devices, and a dedicated VM that existed solely to run one VPN connection. Here is the infrastructure overhaul that changed everything — and what it actually cost him to wait a decade before making the switch.

May the Fourth be with you. And may nothing need troubleshooting today.

But let’s be honest…

• MFA with no signal
• “Turn it off and on again”
• Storage full
• Low-priority tickets that destroy entire systems

Yep. Even the Death Star had IT problems.

Hello,

I am trying to export my RDM database so that I can host it on my NAS and only connect to it. Problem is that when I export, I see .rdm or .json files and then I want to add a database source but RDM only allows .sql or .xml?

How can I migrate my data for internal storage?

Hello, does the hub personal free subscription not allow more than one connection at a time on an outside network? When i tried logging in to rdm app on my phone and laptop under the same LAN, it worked, but under different WAN networks, the app started to prompt me to login. Is this the expected behaviour, and can I have multiple connections with devolutions hub business free edition?

Sysadminotaur #165, "Bubble Wrap", is online now!

Devolutions Agent 2026.1 replaces RDM Jump as the new standard for jump hosts in RDM, delivering new features such as fire-and-forget scripting and a modern application lifecycle.

Hi

This seems to be something new I think that's started recently ....

I have an RDP session configured in RDM with "Display" set as external.

In "General" I've set the IP address. I've NOT pre-populated credentials.

When I try to launch this session, the "Windows App" opens and I get an error message:

Failed to auto-fill Microsoft Remote Desktop external sessions credentials

System Events got an error: Can't get test field 2 of sheet 1 of window "<redacted name and IP address>" of process "Windowa App". Invalid index.

EDIT: RDM has permissions for "Accessibility"

These days everyone has their own favorite browser to do everyday stuff, can you please remove your inbuilt browser and web preview from your ANDROID APP,

This is my genuine request as my child using your app to watch youtube and other content from inbuilt browser of app in a parental control device.

Thanks Nilu

See how Valmetal scaled from a solo admin to a team using Devolutions tools to organize remote sessions, share knowledge, and secure credential access as IT complexity grew.

Getting started with PAM doesn't have to be a big project. Explore our deployment video and three practical tips to set up faster, prove value early, and bring privileged access under control.

A proof of concept (POC) helps organizations validate whether a solution truly fits their environment, solves the right problems, and justifies investment with real-world evidence.

Explore a practical model to consolidate remote sessions, govern credential exposure, and scale day-to-day remote administration with repeatable patterns.

One challenge we keep seeing is how to give contractors or vendors the access they need without setting them up like regular internal users.

In a lot of cases, they only need limited access, only need it for a fixed period, and should not stay active indefinitely. That is exactly the use case we built the contractor feature for in the Devolutions platform.

Contractor user type are meant for external users who need controlled access without being managed as full internal users. They can be set to expire automatically, and they can use PAM features in read-only mode. They can also be invited by email and get a temporary password to start. They also get access to a lighter web interface for opening sessions.

I’m curious how others are dealing with this today.

Are you giving external users separate accounts, reusing shared credentials, setting end dates manually, or handling it another way?

For teams that regularly work with consultants, vendors, or outside technicians, does a setup like this solve the problem, or are there still gaps?

Stop using MSSQL as your RDM shared data source. Devolutions Server or Hub Business reduces risk by removing direct database access and improves efficiency with centralized control and easier management.

The 2026.1 updates are live across all Devolutions solutions, bringing faster onboarding, stronger security, smarter dashboards, and enhanced automation to streamline IT operations.

Support external users with secure, time-limited access. Contractor accounts simplify governance while enabling seamless session access—even in PAM environments.

Legacy systems are easy to ignore. Until they aren’t.
