Question:
We have been running some of our tests using Remote Desktop and
have had problems where if we disconnect the session or minimize the
display the script stops running at that point until you reconnect or
maximize. Is this something other people are running into? If so, how
are they getting around the problem?
Answer:
The standard behavior of the Windows Remote Desktop Connection
(RDC) software locks the remote desktop's User Interface when the RDC
session is minimized or disconnected. Certify uses the User Interface
and must have access for execution to continue, so the RDC session must
remain open and connected.
An alternative solution reported by customers is to use VNC viewer
software (another remote desktop utility) which does not lock the
remote desktop's User Interface when the session is minimized or
disconnected.
