GUI Automation in RDP


Can anyone of you help me with an automation task which involves connecting through rdp and automating certain task in a particular application which is stored in that server.

I have found scripts for rdp connection and for Windows GUI automation seperately.

But in the integration, I have become a bit confused.

It will be great if anyone can help me with the python library name :)


Solution

  • It is not possible to automate a RDP window using pywinauto as RDP window itself is an image of a desktop. Printing control identifiers of the RDP window gives the UI of the screen.

    Solution is to install python+pywinauto in the remote machine.
