RDS Termainl Services Module

PowerShell Help

Does anyone know of a Terminal services module that will grab information about the RDS connections to a terminal server? The module ‘psterminalservices’ no longer seems to be available.

Import-Module : The specified module 'psterminalservices' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.
    + CategoryInfo          : ResourceUnavailable: (psterminalservices:String) [Import-Module], FileNotFoundException

Hmmm … I don’t know what you expect but at least since Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS there are 2 Powershell modules built in. Depending on what information you’re after you could use Get-RDUserSession from the module RemoteDesktop.

For now I am looking for something similar to what ‘Qwinsta’ outputs put something I can easily manipulate as an object with Properties and methods.

Even when I run PS as an admin, it can’t find this module either.

PS C:\Users\bclanton\Google Drive\Code> Import-Module RemoteDesktop
Import-Module : The specified module 'RemoteDesktop' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.

Actually, I am wondering if you meant ‘RemoteDesktopServices’. I can import this module, but I do not see a ‘Get-RDUserSession’ within this module.

I am wondering if you meant 'RemoteDesktopServices'.
... nope. ;-) I meant what I wrote. Powershell Module RemoteDesktop. What information are you after actually? If you have a tool what provides you with the information you want you could simply parse the output and pick the pieces you need .
