Hello experts !

The scenario is : I have to login to 150 Remote Desktop and extract the .txt file from it and put it in a shared folder. Is there any mechanism to handle RDP?

Thanks in advance.

@RobotUi

There is no direct way for it…

Also copy from inside an rdp without having UiPath installed or runtime extension installed is difficult

Cheers

is there any other options ?

@RobotUi

Powershell scripting can help you acheive it …thats the option for youa nd that can be invoked with different parameters from
UiPath

@RobotUi

This is how you rdp to a machine using powershell …you can variablize creds to use same across

And I am not sure what text file it is and where is it…dependinng on that we can try figuring out how to copy those files…one way is we send a bat file through shared folder and run bat file to copy the file to required folder

@RobotUi, it is possible, please do the below activity

Option 1: Try to get access to this file via access to a folder using impersonation

It would be much better to give the robot access to the folder on each server so it can just get the file without having to deal with RDP.
