We tried the following to check the running tests
- Log on using VMWare vsphere client and open console of the VM machine
- We tried recording the entire desktop session as long as the tests run and also artifact the recorded session along with the jenkins build. We have used VLC recorder which can be started from command prompt(from jenkins) just before the tests start and save them after the tests finish executing. The saved recording file is added to the build artifacts.
These are better ways than to interfere with the original connection because that may disrupt the running of the current session.
