Running GUI tests on Amazon Cloud

Hi,



I'm trying to run GUI tests on Amazon Cloud.  The only way I know how to
connect to Amazon machines is via RDP.  However, when I close or
minimize the RDP session, the objects are not recognized.  I understand
this is the inherent problem with RDP.  Is there other method of
connection that will allow me to run GUI tests even after I disconnect
from the machine?



Here is the real problem.  I have many instances running at once in the
Amazon Cloud.  I don't wish to have tens of RDP connections running at
the same time on my local machine just to make these tests run.  These
tests often run overnight and if my machine powers down, then I've lost a
day of testing.  My machine powering down is not the only problem with
running multiple RDP on my machine.  There must be a solution to this
problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
