How to be able to run a bot in PIP in a RemoteDesktopConnection and be able to work in the same RemoteDesktopConnection in live mode on the same machine ?

For instance I want to run bot A in PIP. The bot will open a RemoteDesktopConnection to connect to the ERP.
then I want to work on the same machine on live ony my machine and I need to open my ERP by opening the RemoteDesktopConnection. As its the same remotdesktopconnection it doesnt allow me to be twice and he kick me out of the session.

What is the best approach to be able to work on the machine and running my bot in PIP mode?

Hello @mce,

Are you using two different IDs - Service account for Bot and your personal Id (Both admin accounts) ? - If you are using same id, it will disconnect as soon as you try to login. - ask you Server admins to Enable Multiple Sessions for One User.

And is Windows Server the OS on RDP (which version?). By default, Windows Server allows only two concurrent administrative RDP sessions.

To allow more users, you must install the Remote Desktop Services and install Client Access Licenses, and configure server settings.

Yes, i’m using same id.
Server admin doesnt want to enable multiple sessions for one User (they said its not possible is that true?)

We are using Windows 11 . It seems by default it only authorize 1 active sessions.

Thanks in advance for your further assitance

It is technically possible to enable multiple RDP sessions on Windows 11, but your admin is likely referring to the fact that it violates the Microsoft End User License Agreement (EULA), which restricts Windows Pro to one active user session at a time.

In this case, you will need to ask the admin to create an another service\personal account for you.
