Power automate desktop
 
my power automate desktop flow is perfectly working as attended mode, i want to run when my system is signed off
below are steps I'm did in flow
1. when new email arrives(v3)
2. Run flow build with power automate desktop.
 
in my organization they provide only power automate desktop, cloud and machine runtime environment access. apart from that nothing provides any access
Generally in Uipath when we run as unattended, they provide bot id and we need machine name, username and password.
but not sure what need in power automate.
 
when i searched remote desktop i got some points in my system. 
1.Remote desktop settings
2. Remote desktop developer
3. remote app and desktop connection
4. access remote app and desktop
 
please guild me step by step here, how to run my flow as unattended, tell me any access i need. 
if i login remote desktop, what I need access inside that(e.g power automate cloud, desktop and machine runtime environment)

    Hi,
     
    If you already running your bot in attended mode, then you have already created connection for your machine with below details?
     
    If this step is complete, simply switch the running mode to "unattended" and ensure that the configured machine is signed out. This should allow your flow to run in unattended mode.

    Hi Bhairav,

    Yeah we can use any machine include your machine but make sure you have unattended license at environment level to run your flow in unattended mode.
     
    Please find the below YouTube link for how to do that:

    I have unattended RPA license in my power automate. I'm struggling to get remote desktop connection or virtual machine access from my organization. 
    they are asking which server and which IP address do you need access. I'm not sure which server and IP address. even I don't have idea about they will provide username or password or not. my point is not getting my organization person, because he first time giving this access. can you elaborate more what should i exactly ask to them for that will i get remote desktop access and username, password for this remote desktop. 
     
    and i have watched this YouTube video 20 times, but i'm struggling to get what exactly access in remote desktop
     
    please guild me here how to get this remote desktop access

    Hi @Bhairav,
     
    Please log out from your machine and try to trigger your flow using another machine or even your mobile and see whether that resolves your issues.
