Extension for Microsoft Remote Desktop and Apps
By installing the UiPath Extension for Microsoft RemoteApp and Desktop you are capable of natively generating selectors over RDP connections. It can be installed per-user (from Studio or the Command Prompt) or per-system (from the Command Prompt and Studio Installer)
- Open Studio.
- Navigate to Home > Tools > UiPath Extensions.
- Select Microsoft Remote Desktop and Apps > Install. A confirmation dialog box is displayed.
- Restart your active RDP connection for the changes to take effect. The UiPath Extension for Microsoft Remote Desktop and Apps is now installed.
- Click the Windows Start button and type
cmd
in the search field. - Right click on Command Prompt and run it as administrator.
- Change the directory to the UiPath installation folder (
cd C:\Program Files\UiPath\Studio\UiPath
). - Use the
SetupExtensions /RdpClient
command to install the extension per user, or theSetupExtensions /RdpClientGlobal
command to install the extension per system. A confirmation dialog box is displayed. - Restart your active RDP connection for the changes to take effect. The UiPath Extension for Windows Remote Desktop is now installed.
If you are using RemoteApps running on different remote servers (different Remote Desktop Session Hosts), behind the same Remote Desktop Connection Broker, interactive selection generates native selectors only for the applications published from one remote server.
mstsc.exe
process on the client machine, and the UiPath extension cannot create virtual channels with each of the remote servers.
mstsc.exe
process for each remote server, add the following line in your RDP file:
disableconnectionsharing:i:1
You may need to remove the signature line after this configuration, as the RDP file will be seen as corrupted.
mstsc.exe
process corresponding to that remote server respawns. To avoid any issues, it is recommended to start all remote applications
before interacting with them.
