<# .SYNOPSIS Opens an RDP session to an Ec2 instance with Administrator credentials .DESCRIPTION The cmdlet accepts pipeline input of EC2 instances and requires a private-key file to decrypt and logon with the administrator credentials. Th cmdlet uses cmdkey.exe in the background to enable credential passthrough. .PARAMETER InstanceId Mandatory - EC2 Instance Id for the target machine .PARAMETER Region Mandatory - Region parameter for the EC2 Instance if -InstanceID is specified. .PARAMETER Reservation Accepts an EC2 Reservation pipeline input from Get-Ec2Instance output. .PARAMETER Instance Accepts an Amazon EC2 Instance object from the pipeline .PARAMETER PemFile Mandatory - Path to the PrivateKey file to decrypt .PARAMETER AddressProperty Optional - String to try to use a specific private or public address .EXAMPLE Get-Ec2Instance i-2492acfc | Enter-EC2RdpSession -PemFile '~/ssh/ec2-dev.pem' .EXAMPLE Enter-EC2RdpSession -InstanceId i-2492acfc -Region us-west-2 -PemFile '~/ssh/ec2-dev.pem' #> function Enter-EC2RdpSession { [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName='ByInstanceId')] param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true,ParameterSetName="ByInstanceId")] [string]$InstanceId, [Parameter(Mandatory=$true,ParameterSetName="ByInstanceId")] [string]$Region, [Parameter(ParameterSetName="ByReservationObject", ValueFromPipeline=$true)] [Amazon.EC2.Model.Reservation]$Reservation, [Parameter(ParameterSetName="ByInstanceObject", ValueFromPipeline=$true)] [Amazon.EC2.Model.Instance[]]$Instance, [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [ValidateScript({Test-Path -Path $_ })] [string]$PemFile, [Parameter()] [ValidateSet($null, 'PrivateIpAddress','PublicIpAddress','PrivateDnsName','PublicDnsName')] [string]$AddressProperty='PrivateIpAddress' ) Process { if ($InstanceId) { $Reservation = Get-EC2Instance -Instance $InstanceId -Region $Region } if ($Reservation) { $Instance = $Reservation.Instances } foreach ($i in $Instance) { Write-Debug "Fetching credentials for $($i.InstanceId)" $credential = $i | Get-EC2Credential -PemFile $PemFile if ($credential) { foreach ($address in ($i | Get-EC2InstanceAddress -AddressProperty $AddressProperty | Select-Object -Unique)) { if (!$address) { continue } Enter-RdpSession -ComputerName $address -Credential $credential } } else { Write-Debug "Credential cannot be fetched" } } } } |
