Hello,

I am connecting to an XP box with SilkTest installed using Remote Desktop Connection. I kick off SilkTest remotely, but when I navigate away from the RD window, SilkTest fails because it can't set the window active. If I keep the RD session open, Silk runs fine on the other machine.

Is there a way to keep Silk running in the remote machine, but without having to keep the RD window active in the machine that connects to it?

Here is a solution I use for Remote Desktop.
I start with my local machine, HostA
I remote through to HostB
From the HostB desktop, I remote through to HostC
I run my scripts on HostC.
I can then disconnect my connection to HostB from my local machine.

The scripts continue to run fine on HostC via it's RD session on HostB, but I'm free to use

my HostA for other stuff or to power it down.
