Robot on VM - RDP - need a physical local machine?

Hi all, sorry for bringing up this old topic, but I am facing similar potential issues

@Ludo.F, thank you for your explanations. I wanted to ask for some further clarification; I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to setting up VMs. I read elsewhere that in VMs it is not possible to perform UI based activities such as clicks and typing (unless Simulate Click/Type or Send Window Messages) is used, that OCR does not work, etc., unless the Virtual Machine is opened via RDP on a physical machine. Can you confirm that this is in fact not the case for you and you are using the full suite of options without a physical machine opened?

Would this work using VMware and Microsoft Windows Server 2012?

Thanks in advance
