Executing a Test on Windows Remote Desktop
If you are running the PeopleSoft Test Framework on a remote host using Windows Remote Desktop (MSTSC), the Internet Explorer opens on the remote host. To avoid failure of a test on the Internet Explorer, consider the following:
Keep the MSTSC open or maximized and be always connected to the remote host.
Avoid locking the remote host.
Avoid moving the mouse cursor on the remote host.
However, if you need to minimize the MSTSC, then configure your local machine as follows:
Close all the open MSTSC windows on your local machine.
Run regedit.exe to open the Windows Registry Editor.
Open the following location:
If you are changing settings for the current user, open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client.
If you are changing settings for all users then open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client.
If you are using an x64 machine, in addition to the above path, open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client.
Note: Please backup all corresponding entries before applying the new configurations.
Create new DWORD value with the following data:
Name: RemoteDesktop_SuppressWhenMinimized
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 2
Close the Registry Editor.
Warning! Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause issues that may require you to reinstall Windows. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk.
