Question #185791 on Sikuli changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/185791 daluu posted a new comment: what exact issues are you having with VNC server viewer/client setup? Perhaps you can work something out with IT to use a specific port for VNC. It defaults at 5900 for the server. Or maybe tunnel through an accepted port like 80, etc. though I've never tried VNC tunneling, say over SSH or something else. Also, if issue is with security, here are a few things to consider: * can set VNC password to prevent unauthorized access. Free versions are not encrypted within the VNC protocol, I think. If need higher security, then buy the commercial versions. But even without encryption, the password will block off simple attempts at VNC hacking corporate machines. If the hacker managed to try sniffing your network for unecrypted passwords, then your network is already compromised, even if they didn't find any passwords. * VNC is still decently secure as long as you run the machines within corporate network, not accessible externally. Therefore, to access them outside like working from home, you still need to VPN in. * you could also secure down the test machines so even if hacked, limit the damage, like machines have restricted or no network fileshare access (besides HTTP web browsing). And if VNC setup issue is with Windows Vista or newer OS, you may need to use specific software like UltraVNC or TightVNC. RealVNC freeware version doesn't seem to work with Windows 7, etc. And why are you using TeamViewer? Is Microsoft RDP not working well enough for you? RDP will work fine as long as you keep the RDP window open and not close it. Though I still prefer VNC because you can close it and automation still runs. I would say VNC should be your solution, you just need to get IT to agree to it somehow.

Question #185791 on Sikuli changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/185791 daluu posted a new comment: anmol_bagga10, can you elaborate on a few things: * do you keep TeamViewer open all the time or you connect and disconnect at times same way as with VNC? * what port then does TeamViewer run on? Or I assume it also uses RDP and same ports. I would also like to point out that you can run from anywhere using standard RDP provided the following: * always connect to console session 0, either with RDP or mstsc.exe command line parameter /admin or /console exact parameter depends on version of RDP client and the OS connecting to. You can tell which session by checking under Task Manager users tab, displaying column for session ID. * on client OSes, you will always get console session 0 (Win XP, and I think Vista and Win 7). On server OSes (2003, 2008), they give you free 3 user terminal server license. Hence when RDP'ing to a server OS, you will by default use session 1 or session 2. But there is always a session 0 (the head or desktop of server), that you can access via the parameter mentioned. Session 1 and 2 are virtual terminal server sessions. With that in mind, if you connect to server A from machine B using session 0, you can disconnect and reconnect to same session 0 from machine C. That won't work if you connected via session 1 or 2, which are tied to client machine that did RDP. Session 0 is not as it is always the head/desktop. But unlike VNC, on disconnect of RDP, you get locked, because unlike VNC, physical desktop is not shared with RDP session is either/or, but VNC can use physical desktop and VNC session at same time (though not desirable as you be like fighting for mouse and keyboard).
