> Running eValid using Windows XP's Remote Desktop Connection
  Feature

  As a monitoring engine, eValid can be set-up for use with the new
  Remote Desktop Connection Feature of Windows XP which allows a
  client user to connect to the Remote Desktop enabled host machine.

  * To set-up a remote desktop:

  (1) Install the client software for the remote desktop connection.
      The software is readily available from Microsoft's website.

  (2) Enable the Remote Desktop Connection feature in the HOST
      machine. Remember that only Windows XP users can be set up as
      hosts.

  * Connecting to the host machine:

  Once the software has been installed and the host machine
  configured, start a Remote Desktop Connection by:

  (1) Clicking: "Start > Programs > Accessories > Communications >
      Remote Desktop Connection".

  (2) Enter the computer name to connect to. If necessary, configure
      the necessary options.

  (3) Click "Connect".

  (4) Once connected to the Remote Desktop Connection the client
      will launch a window which emulates the desktop, giving the
      user control of the host machine.

  Users can now run monitoring scripts installed in the host
  machine.  However, the user must be aware of the current host
  environment as well as the constraints on running scripts which
  require desktop interaction or focus.

  Minimizing the connection window in the client machine will cause
  the playback involving application mode or absolute commands to
  not be able to succeed because there is no desktop available in
  both the client (minimized window) and the host (log-in screen).

  * An Alternative

  Because a Remote Desktop is a single user(locked) connection, this
  constraint is not applicable to VNC, where a user may minimize the
  connection window from the client machine and still be able to
  successfully run scripts containing application mode recording or
  requiring desktop focus because the desktop of the host machine is
  still active.
