Hi Alexander,
Alexei is right. Let me quote the Running Tests via Remote Desktop help topic:
As an alternative, you may consider using Network Suites. For example, on your computer (the computer you currently open RD connection to the test computer), create a project that you're going to run on the test computer, set up a task, share the project suite folder with the test computer, execute the task. While the task is being executed, you can minimize TC, and your test will be played back on the test PC.
To help you get started with Network Suites, I recommend that you follow this tutorial.
How to run GUI tests with Remotedesktop and do not hold session's window opened all the time?
Alexei is right. Let me quote the Running Tests via Remote Desktop help topic:
When running the GUI tests via the Remote Desktop, do not minimize the Remote Desktop window. When the Remote Desktop window is minimized, the operating system does not draw the GUI so TestComplete will not be able to “see” the tested application’s interface and thus will fail to interact with it.
For the same reason, do not disconnect from the Remote Desktop Connection session or lock the current computer while running tests that interact with the GUI, otherwise the tests will fail.
