Enhancing server virtualization through host sessions

In an approach to enhancing server virtualization through host sessions by re-screening a remote desktop session of a target virtual machine. Embodiments, identify, on a computer system, an open remote desktop window corresponding to the remote desktop session, and determine, by the computer system, whether one or more second remote desktop windows are embedded in the open remote desktop window. Further, embodiments identify, from the one or more second remote desktop windows, a target remote desktop window associated with the target virtual machine and generate an overlay on the open remote desktop window based on the identification of the target remote desktop window associated with the target virtual machine. Additionally, embodiments capture activity on a remote desktop screen associated with the generated overlay, and executes the captured activity on the generated overlay.
