How to merge Duplicate Folders
#1
Dear Community,

Someone of our Teammembers had duplicate all root folders of our ASG Remote Desktop Connection Items.

Is there a way to just merge all items together?

As an example how it's look like:

+Connections
    +Folder A
    +Folder A
    +Folder B
    +Folder B

Thank you very much

No - but if copied all properties should be also copied - so it should be nearly the same - just delete one of the duplicates :-)

In my case we have many admins and had several changes in both of the duplicate folders, but in the meanwhile I was able to fixed it.

Just export all necessary folders (both duplicates) as .RDE File. The File is in an XML Format which you can parse as example with powershell, python,... .
After this, just check if there are unique values. Now find this unique entries and copy it to the other folder where the item is missing.
At the end, you have two equal copies, delete one of these.

If you are not aware with powershell or phyton you have the ability to export the connections as CSV File, open it via MS Excel and find the duplicates by Conditional Formating > Highlight Cell Rules > Duplicate Values. In this case you will not see all of the available properties.
