title: Is it possible to run Coded UI tests without having to connect via remote desktop?
body: <p>I'm attempting to automate Coded UI tests. </p>
  
  <p>My test controller launches the tests on a remote test server, which I normally access via a Remote Desktop connection. </p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to run the Coded UI tests without having to connect via remote desktop? </p>
  
  <p>Currently, the tests only run when I have connected via Remote Desktop, and the window must be open. When I close the Remote Desktop session, the tests do not run. </p>
  
  <p>If it isn't possible to run coded UI tests without remote desktop, how can I automate connecting via remote desktop? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
