Do you want to record actions on your remote desktop either Physical or VM machine, using you TC on your local  machine?

    What do you want to interact with, on your remote desktop?

        Because you responded with "Yes thats right", I assumed you wanted to interact with something within your remote desktop - this can not be done! What you see on the remote desktop is streamed-data, not actual UI objects. Therefore TC, is not able to interact with anything on the remote desktop.

        You can use appropriate commands, to check whether your remote desktop is alive, together with WshShell Object - see the examples.
