import rdg file to remote desktop manager

I am also reposting this with full attribution to MVP Jan Egil Ring JanEgilRing and a huge thank you as well! Using the New-RDCmanfile.ps1 script is pretty straightforward, but I will annotate the section you need to consider to get the results you need. In addition, I will also discuss some Lync-specific ways to generate an RDCMAN file for Lync servers in a topology. This post will focus on using RDCMAN and will leverage the New-RDCmanFile script from MVP Jan Egil Ring to demonstrate ways to customize this script to query AD for different server types. Third party products such as RoyalTS and MRemoteNG can do some automatic exploring of and importing from Active Directory to dynamically add machines. RDCMAN is a great, free utility from Microsoft but to doesn’t offer a lot of flexibility in importing machine names other than a simple text file. You are like me, which is to say lazy, and need to create way to connect to each machine via RDP but don’t want to have to input each server name one at a time via Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCMAN). You know the drill: You start a new project or need to configure a bunch of Lync, Exchange or any type of servers really.
