Execution failed when Local Computer locked
Hi, Is there a way to continue execution when Remote Desktop is active and local machine is locked
Forum Discussion
One way we got around this was using VNC to remote into our test lab machines and kick off the tests. The VNC services would keep the remote UI active for us while we were disconnected. We did find it to be a little slower to interact with the desktop, but it didn't seem to slow the tests down.
Is VNC viewer is worth to try ? as we are running Testcomplete tests on TestExecute remote machine and our tests are failing - firefox errors when we disconnect from remote desktop. They pass when we remain connected .
Unless Microsoft has modified the way Remote Desktop works, last time I checked if you're using Remote Desktop to access a system you can't establish ANOTHER Remote Desktop connection to ANOTHER machine. Which means you can't Remote Desktop into MachineC from MachineB when you're already using Remote Desktop to connect to MachineB from MachineA.
That being said, the ONLY way I've been able to remotely execute tests is to use some kind of VNC solution to remotely access my test machines. I'm not going to recommend a specificVNC solution at this time. I think I was using RealVNC when I had to do it. You'll have to install a VNC server on the test machines, and use a VNC Viewer on the originating machine.
