Hello everyone,
When reading Microsoft documentation on how to schedule the run of a desktop flow, I realized it is not possible to run a Desktop flow on a locked computer.
- Attended mode : requires a sign in session (so you must be in front of your computer)
- Unattended mode : Locked windows user sessions will prevent desktop flows from running (so you must be sign out and disconnected)
My project is to run flows during the night, so I can't use the attended mode (security policy of my company won't let me have an always open session).
I can't use the unattended mode as I my session must remain logged into the computer (other RPA software requirement). So the computer needs to be sign in but is locked.
Is there a trick to launch a desktop flow on a locked machine ? I am really surprised Microsoft do not provide a solution for this use case.
Thanks for your help
Clément
Hello @CBLOUARD
My IT department set up a Virtual Machine on our servers and we set that VM to never log out. Then on any computer I can log in to the Virtual Machine with a desktop viewer like Team Viewer.
This has allowed us to run Desktop Flows with the less expensive attended flow license all from the cloud & our servers.
