SilkTest Question 51: How to conduct testing with SilkTest via Microsoft Remote Desktop?

To execute testing the SQA Engineer needs to install SilkTest on the remote machine, but during exertion of automated test cases SilkTest would treat via Microsoft Remote Desktop windows as the GUI application under test. It means that in case you minimized or exit desktop window the SilkTest Agent cannot control anymore the mouse and keyboard and test cases would fail. Remote Desktop can only be used for automated testing when it is non-minimized. Of course there is some work around: connect via Remote Desctop session into first test machine and from that machine hook up into machine with SilkTest installed. Then when someone closes Remote Desktop from the first machine, the remote machines session would stay open. It is weird solution, but it work in our QA Lab environment.
