https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Digital-Exchange/Remote-Desktop-Services-Architecture/m-p/65014#M2806 Hi all,<BR /><BR />I have recently digested the Remote Desktop Services userguide attached and reviewed the threads on the forum here but I am still left with a question regarding the following line in the userguide page 2 under the Component Diagram: "In this example, the Start RDP Session action is being executed on a logged-out Login Agent Runtime Resource, running as a service..." My understading of this sentence is that a separate RuntimeResource (a VM apart from the RDSH) is needed to execute the Start RDP Session action.<BR /><BR />My question is: Is it possible to do away with the standalone RuntimeResource (VM)? Could not the RDSH have a "Master" locked-out session running the LoginAgent service that would execute the Start RDP Session action to start an RDP session on the same machine? I understand that the action is a background one so as many of them can be run at the same time as the license allows.<BR /><BR />I hope I managed to get the question formulated properly,<BR />Many thanks for your suggestions in advance,<BR /><BR />------------------------------<BR />László Varga <BR />RPA Technical Lead<BR />------------------------------ Thu, 25 Feb 2021 11:51:00 GMT LászlóVarga 2021-02-25T11:51:00Z https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Digital-Exchange/Remote-Desktop-Services-Architecture/m-p/65014#M2806 Hi all,<BR /><BR />I have recently digested the Remote Desktop Services userguide attached and reviewed the threads on the forum here but I am still left with a question regarding the following line in the userguide page 2 under the Component Diagram: "In this example, the Start RDP Session action is being executed on a logged-out Login Agent Runtime Resource, running as a service..."

Specifically, on the same page as the one you mentioned, there is this segment:<BR /><BR /><EM>"To mitigate against these risks, the Blue Prism Remote Desktop Services VBO contains an action called Start</EM><BR /><EM>RDP Session which, when executed, creates a new RDS session from one runtime resource (the "client") to</EM><BR /><EM>another (the "server"). This can be locally on the same machine, or on a remote machine."<BR /><BR /></EM>I haven't personally tested this myself but I believe the above segment indicates that you can indeed bypass having a separate RR VM (running Login Agent) just for the purpose of triggering Start RDP Session.<BR /><BR />------------------------------<BR />Wing Ling Leung<BR />Senior Product Consultant<BR />Blue Prism Professional Services<BR />------------------------------<BR /> Thu, 11 Mar 2021 19:54:00 GMT https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Digital-Exchange/Remote-Desktop-Services-Architecture/m-p/65015#M2807 wleung 2021-03-11T19:54:00Z
