mahi123 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Hi, When I run autoit script in remote vdi, it does not work when I minimize the window of the remote desktop. How do I solve this problem? I want the scripts to run even when I am not logged in to that machine or minimized the remote desktop window. I cannot change codes at this moment. so any other advice?

jdelaney Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) Don't lock the desktop, and don't minimize the client.

mahi123 Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 I have a great solution. Use cisco remote desktop manager and connect to your remote vdi. Then you can minimize it and script runs perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

argumentum Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 ..I don't mean to be .. that you're thinking. In my view, regarding online stuff, I don't trust blindly any of it. I can not know when a heartbeat bug or a breach will occur. And I can not give more examples, as I could get in trouble by just hinting. I rather have RDP access in house, and as unusual as possible.

When I need to interact with the session, I shadow it. All this is done in a vm where no one can plug a monitor or keyboard to it, as is a vm. Maybe you can do this setup, and not even worry that the untended PC rebooted or what not, since the session will always run if the vm is turned on. My 2 cents PS: I even wrote me a script to make it simpler ( https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/files/file/477-rdpshadow-utility/ ) Edited May 25, 2019 by argumentum added a link to a utility Follow the link to my code contribution ( and other things too ).
