It is not giving each file a unique name. It is creating a file named .RDP with nothing in front therefore it keeps overwriting. I accidentally changed the Filename header to File name.

I can get it to create one file just fine. When I try to create multiple files it gives me the finger and creates a default connection.

You can add these into the mix: connect to console:i:1 (if you can use /console normally) or administrative session:i:1 (if you are latest ver. of RDP requiring /admin) This can be added to the template_bottom.txt file, or you can get creative, and add it into the powershell script (in the same way that you added the full screen). Good luck~! Great Question!

Is there a way to always use Full Screen for the connections, or do i just need to set the window size to reflect Full Screen. Also, is there a way to force a connection to the Console, rather than a regular MSTSC connection? Great script though. app Two questions.

Just one remark, when running it on XP, 18: $temp = "`nfull address:s:" + $Entry.IP should be 18: $temp = "full address:s:" + $Entry.IP otherwise the mstsc won't get the ip adress and will ask for it. Other then that works like a charm. Thanks for the example, very useful in fact (I used to maintain a lost of RDP manually, but this solves the issue of updating the info).
