    Hi Thomas,



    To click the item in the tray you may use approach from here: http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/8787.

    As for how long to wait for the scan to complete - you should look for some criterion (e.g. how do you determine that the scan is complete if you start it manually? Or you may ask developers whether they expose some flag/method that can help you) and than delay the test until either the criterion is met or some reasonable time interval is elapsed.

Hi Thomas,

Unfortunately, I am afraid that this is question more for Support (you may raise a support case if they not answer here). The only idea that I have is to check what account is used for the RDP session and what account is used to start the scanning service (as I think it is responsible to spawn a UI process when the user logs in). Maybe if you allow cptray.exe to interact with the desktop (checkbox in the service properties) this will solve the problem with the icon not showed in the tray...

I believe that TestComplete will be able to identify some label like 'running...', 'executing...', etc. displayed in the Endpoint Security panel while the scan is running. In the worst case if the only criterion is the animated icon in the tray, you may try approach from here: http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/54656/
