You lose a lot of functionality when using RDP automation especially without the agent.

you don’t have elements

you don’t have cmd

you can’t focus windows

theres a lot

you are pretty much limited to:

1) send keys

2) image-based automation (which is flaky at best). Hopefully the program you are trying to use has very structured and useable hotkeys.

good luck!

Image based automation is just the following actions:

Wait for image
Move mouse to image
etc.

You can capture images just like you capture elements. The active window looks for the series of pixels in a specific format and once it finds it, clicks as directed. It's very functional if you are using the same computer, screen, and settings every time. I would not trust it as much for unattended automation.
