Hi,

I know Borland does not recommend to use vnc at a computer when Silktest is running, because vnc may cause conflict with the agent.

But what about remote desktop?
Has anyone experiences in using Silktest via remote desktop?

It's kind of funny, but I have heard of people using multiple levels of Remote Desktop to

get it to work. So they had 3 machines, 1 that the automation is running on, an in-between

machine that you have Remote Desktop connected to the automation machine, and a 3rd machine

they were actually working on to remote into the "in-between" machine. That way, they could

always leave the Remote Desktop session running and maximized on the "in-between" machine

and close it down on their own (3rd) machine.

Seems like a total hassle to me. Either use something free like VNC, or our company uses

some other remote product called NetOp that isn't great, but works better then Remote

Desktop when it comes to SilkTest and running automation.
