Follow below steps:

  2. Then type ''mstsc" and enter using TypeInto activity
  3. Enter server credentials for logging into server.
  4. once logging into server, use Citrix Automation or Computer Vision Scope activity to automate application.

Hi @MariaJosephina

You can follow few steps in your workflow to get it done…

  1. Use the Hot key activity (Win + R) to open the run command of windows
  2. use a type Into activity to type “mstsc” with “Enter” command to open the remote desktop connection app
  3. Again use a type Into activity to provide the server name
  4. Do a click event to sign in
  5. On Element Appear activity, check whether the pop up to enter username and password is visible
  6. When appears, use a Type into activity to type your credentials
  7. Again a hot key or a click activity to sign in…
  8. Once you are in remote server, you can use AI Computer Vision to easily do stuff in remote server.

If you have not downloaded AI computer vision, you might need to get them downloaded to your Studio. For that, refer the link below

@MariaJosephina,

If the application is on desktop then you can assign one Shortcut key to that. Then use Send HOT Key activity and pass that assigned shortcut key.

Once you login to RDP, use full screen mode to get full control. You can use the Maximize Window activity to make it full screen… then you can use Hot key activity if you have confugured a lot key for the application yoi are trying to run. Else, you can use CMD to open a app. Or else, computer vision can be helpful on clicking shortcut items on desktop etc.

Hi All,
I am not able to send hot keys to remote desktop machine. After logging in to the RDP to open browser i am trying to send hotkeys to open run and send command. But it is not opening or launching run. Please suggest if there is any other way to open a browser in a remote desktop machine.

Thanks

After open RDP before enter credentials please click->show Options->go to Local Resource tab
->change Apply Windows Key combinations enter On the remote computer and save.
After try Win+r in rdp it will work.
