Power Automate Desktop - Attended vs Unattended Flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi All,

I would schedule some desktop flow, built on a windows server 24h on but with no active sessions during the night. 

 

I noticed that if I schedule the desktop flow from power automate service (is it the only way, right?) I can choose two option, attended and unattended.

 

If I connect to the windows server machine from my laptop, and run the power service flow that call the power automate desktop flow, it works well, but if I disconnect to the windows server machine from my laptop, and run the power service flow that call the power automate desktop flow, it doesn't work.

 

I think I have to choose the unattended option? If I select it, It tells me that the flow cannot be enabled due to the fact I don't have the correct paying supscription. I currently bought a "Per-user plan" license that worth 15$ and I cannot find a clear istructions on the web telling me what license I need to run the desktop flow, from the service, in an unattended mode (so if there are no active session on the windows machine).

 

Can anyone help me?

 

Thanks

    You need to sign out. Disconnect doesn't always work.

    Yes!  After digging a lot, this is the correct way to be sure to launch the flow in unnatended way.
