Could we know if the test is executed in a RDP ?

Hi,   I would like to have a boolean which indicates if I am connected through remote desktop or not.   Is that possible ?   Thank you,   Mehdi

Hi,

 

Not sure what you are asking, Do you want to have a Boolean value which will say whether RDP instance is running in the current machine?

    Hi,

     

    I know we can check whether the RDP application is opened in current machine using below code,

     

    function isRDPRunning()
{
       return Sys.Process("mstsc").Exists;
}

    Not sure, How to check whether that RDP is connected to any VM or server.

      If you want to know, how you have connected to server, you can use system environment variables.

      E.g. - <SESSIONNAME> should return RDP-Tcp#0 if you are connected using RDP. 

       

      In Python you can create a function:

       

      import os

def is_rdp_connected():
    if os.environ.get("SESSIONNAME") == "RDP-Tcp#0":
        return True
    else: return False

       

      P.S. Note, that if another users are connected via RDP, the <SESSIONNAME> value can be RDP-Tcp#1, 2, ..., n
