Tests will fail if close the remote window for VM

Post by yydpkm » Mon Jul 24, 2017 2:37 pm

What I did so far:
I tried minimize the Remote Desktop Connection window, almost all tests failed.
I tried keep the Remote Desktop Connection window open and then close the monitor, almost all tests failed.
It can only work fine if I keep the Remote Desktop Connection window open and stare at the screen. :evil:
This is clearly not the purpose to do test automation.

Is there any solution to this? Or the only way to let it run on VM is open the remote window and monitor on?

Ranorex 5.2.2. I am not allowed to update Ranorex.
OS windows server 2008 R2.

Thanks guys. :D
