How can we launch the ScreenConnect Host application from the API?

Open johngagefaulkner opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Good morning!

I stumbled upon this repo a couple hours ago and, with the help of this PowerShell module, I was able to log into my instance, search for a PC via the hostname and invoke a command on it! This is far more than I'd ever achieved myself and I'm grateful this was publicly shared! However, I would like to be able to launch the ScreenConnect Host application on a targeted Session GUID allowing me to remotely access the end-user's PC. I've searched throughout the repo and I don't see that listed anywhere but I have the feeling I'm simply missing something ─ is this information already known? If so, can someone please share it? If not, is this a feature/function that this repo has the goal of implementing?

Thank you!!

@johngagefaulkner, were you ever able to figure this out? I'm trying to do the same thing.

I threw together a very basic PoC here: https://github.com/slinak/Launch-ScreenConnect-Windows-Selector-via-Powershell

I would like to tie it into what's currently in this repo but haven't started that work yet.
