Hi Kim,
This only happens with one McKesson app we use called
Practice Plus. I only run that script once a month so it isn't really
much of an issues for me. All of our STAR scripts work fine opening and
closing the RDP connection even while it is running. I also have some
WEB scripts that don't seem to mind the RDP either. It is only that one
application. I am not familiar enough with Meditech to make any
suggestions. Sorry.
Thanks,
Reese

This is the problem that we are trying to avoid: below you state that
"I have never had any problems with them other then the fact that some
windows apps lose "focus" if the machine gets locked."
With us scripting so much in and out of Meditech... that is our
problem... how do we ensure that we have a way to get in and out of
virtual machines without causing the app to lose focus?

I have two virtualized (VMWare) Boston Workstation machines that I use
daily. One is a Developers and the other is a runtime license. I use
Remote Desktop to check on them. I have never had any problems with
them other then the fact that some windows apps lose "focus" if the
machine gets locked. I just leave them unlocked and minimized on my
workstation in order to keep them running.
Thanks,
Reese

Is PC Anywhere what most are using? Or am I missing another option? Our
IT area doesn't like PC Anywhere at all...

You can use PC anywhere with virtual machines just fine. I don't know
where you heard that from, but it is incorrect.

Do you have any documentation / recommendations or testing information
on virtualization machines for scripting? Or IT area is recommending
this; however, for us, we have historically been using PC Anywhere to
check on scripts. My understanding is you can no longer do this on a
virtual PC... so what are the necessary tools at that point? Any help
you can provide would be great.

Greetings,
Oh and your other question - don't worry folks - shorter answer here
:-)
There isn't anything you have to add to your script - except having it
be mindful that...
Users can do funny things - not what you want them to do - like accept a
re-bootable automatic update, work in an application that locks up the
PC, accidently kick the plug, shut down that little B thing because they
don't know what it is, spill coffee on the keyboard.
So your scripts will need "the unexpected" recovery abilities - the tip
Brian sent about Status earlier is a definite must do.
Virtual machines are a great alternative for maximizing the use of
hardware.
Regards,
Thom
