I would use the ""Start process"" action and start the Remote Desktop directly. You can even pass in parameters and connect to where you need to directly.

It's possible to attach to explorer.exe on the local machine and spy the task bar, start menu, system tray etc. For the remote machine it has to be surface automation.

Hello Hari, as per previous comments, use the Start Process action in the Utility - Environment object to run command lines rather than interface with the Command Line UI.

I tried to interact with Remote Desktop Connection using the Start Process action. It's starting. But, how to connect to remote server?
