FUNCTION Integer GetSystemMetrics (Integer nIndex) LIBRARY "user32.dll"


[powerscript]
integer SM_REMOTESESSION = 4096  // remote session
integer SM_REMOTECONTROL = 8193  // remote control

    // on terminal server
END IF
Another way is to check the Windows environment variable sessionname. The value of this environment variable will be 'Console' for a normal, local session. For an Remote Desktop session it will contain the phrase 'RDP'.
