Simplifying Your PowerShell Script: Add Users to Local RDP Group Remotely with Ease

If you've ever faced the challenge of adding specific users to the Local Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) group on a remote server using PowerShell, you're not alone. Many system administrators find themselves repeating the same steps multiple times, leading to frustration and inefficiency. Fortunately, there's a way to streamline the process and create a more user-friendly experience.

The Problem: A Complicated Function

The existing PowerShell function you've likely come across requires two sets of inputs: the server name and the username. This can slow down your workflow, especially if you're working with multiple servers or users. The original function might look something like this:

This script works perfectly; however, the requirement for two separate inputs can complicate matters. In this post, we’ll look into a simpler solution that will enhance your workflow significantly.

The Solution: A Streamlined Function

The most efficient approach is to modify the existing PowerShell function to accept both the server name and the username as inputs at the same time. By doing so, you only need to provide these details once when calling the function. Here’s how you can accomplish that:

Revised PowerShell Function

You can edit your script to look like this:

Key Changes Explained

Two Parameters: The function now takes both $svrName for the server name and $userName for the username as inputs.

Parameter Utilization: Within the Invoke-Command, we’re using the param() block to accept the username argument.

Reduced Prompts: By providing both parameters, you only need to enter them once when executing your command, making it far more efficient.

How to Call the Function

Once you've implemented the revised function, you can call it with the following syntax:

Remember to use a comma to separate the server and username inside the command call, but not when you're defining the function itself.

Conclusion

By modifying your PowerShell function to accept both the server name and the username at once, you can streamline the process of adding users to the Local RDP group on remote servers. This small change can save you time and effort, making system administration tasks much more manageable. So give it a try and experience the convenience for yourself!
