Example of use

Task

Put the machine in console mode by running the bat-file and take a screenshot.

Запуск робота планируется осуществлять вне RMC (вручную или по локальному расписанию) на удаленной машине, а окно с RDP-соединением пользователь не планирует оставлять в открытом виде, необходимо перевести текущую RDP-сессию в режиме console (консольный режим).

В консольном режиме графическая сессия остается активной, но при этом RDP-соединение закрыто и не мешает пользователю.
