Description

 

Batch Edit is used to change the settings of multiple sessions in one operation. It can be used to remove or update all of the credentials of a group of sessions. This option can be found in the session context menu.

You can also change:

 

The username, the domain, and/or the stored password
Some session-specific settings (e.g. the Remote Desktop settings)
The security group assigned

 

General Settings

 

Via Batch Edit-> Edit Sessions (General Settings) from the context menu, you can change  common session settings. The session can be of any type, because a common set of options are shared among sessions. The following general settings can be changed:

 

Group
Display
Image
Description
Keywords
Information (changed globally)
VPN
Events
Log
Tools

Credential Settings

 

You can change the configured credentials for multiple sessions in a batch. This is a good workaround for a feature not available in Remote Desktop Manager: inherited credentials. To change those values, use the context menu Batch Edit-> Change Saved Credentials...

Also, you can clear existing credentials (Batch Edit-> Reset All Saved Credentials...) or passwords (Batch Edit-> Reset All Saved Password...).

Some settings are specific to the selected type of session. To change these values, use the context menu Batch Edit-> Edit Sessions (Session Type Settings)...
