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:

1. Close all the open MSTSC windows on your local machine.

2. Run regedit.exe to open the Windows Registry Editor.

3. 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.

4. Create new DWORD value with the following data:

   • Name: RemoteDesktop_SuppressWhenMinimized

   • Type: REG_DWORD

   • Data: 2

5. Close the Registry Editor.
