Sep 23, 2012 at 2:34 comment added voretaq7 Mod I would have thought that the entire core nugget of this debacle would have been addressed in my not-quite-comprehensive guide to asking good questions, but it wasn't. So constructive result: Implementation constraints are now explicitly called out as things we kinda need to know! HOORAY CONSTRUCTIVE RESULTS! <--?
Sep 23, 2012 at 0:44 comment added HopelessN00b @kelton52 Actually, I was looking for a "why" (or a "what") so I could advise you as to what possibilities there are, and which ones might be suitable for you, but after reading all the garbage you've been spewing here (which must have taken many times longer that just providing the necessary specifics in the first place), I'd also like to know why I (or anyone else) should bother helping. I mean, clearly, I'm in "over my head" (the fact that I administer hundreds of ESX which need screencapped from time to time notwithstanding), so me and my head should find someone else to help, right?

Sep 22, 2012 at 18:57 comment added Kelly Elton They're all looking for a 'why' so they can say 'No that's dumb, do it this way'...Which is what I'm not looking for, as it doesn't answer my question. That's simple logic.
Sep 22, 2012 at 18:56 comment added Kelly Elton @Iain Maybe you haven't been keeping up, but we already established that the question is a real question. The only real issue it seems, is my lack of including motive and reason into the question.
Sep 22, 2012 at 18:52 comment added user9517 Mod @kelton52: The people that closed your question are some of the best we have. If they don't get it then there is something wrong with the question not them.
Sep 22, 2012 at 18:49 comment added Kelly Elton I was hoping there was a driver or something that could bypass this, or emulate a display, or something. Some kind of answer, but instead I got a bunch of 'I don't understand the question, so he's being vague'
Sep 22, 2012 at 18:48 comment added Kelly Elton @ChrisS Exactly what I'm dealing with here. yourlogicalfallacyis.com/personal-incredulity
Sep 22, 2012 at 18:44 comment added Chris S Mod @WesleyDavid Yes. That's basically the core of it. RDP sessions have their "screen" destroyed when there is nobody connected (because there is no screen connected....)
Sep 22, 2012 at 18:40 comment added Wesley Are you trying to capture screen output by means of some software like Cmatasia (just for example) on the remote EC2 instance, but there is no recorded screen when you disconnect from the RDP session? Only when you're actively connected? Is that what this is about?
Sep 22, 2012 at 18:38 comment added Chris S Mod Thou shalt not goad anyone into providing an answer by reason of Personal Incredulity. Thank you for playing, please try again.
Sep 22, 2012 at 18:29 comment added Kelly Elton Honestly, it's a fairly straight forward question. If you're running a headless windows instance, the only way to view it is through rdp. The display stops rendering or whatever if you disconnect, and I need to to somehow stay on, so the software on the machine can interact with it. If you don't understand headless machines or whatever, then you probably are in no position to answer the question, you're just closing it because you don't 'see the point', or you don't know about the topic. That's not grounds to close a question.
Sep 22, 2012 at 18:25 comment added Chris S Mod I realize you may be skeptical of our abilities, but many of us actually do know what we're doing and are not harassing your question for curiosity or the fun of it.
