Unable to create a Desktop flow connection

Posted on by AP-07071208-0

I am trying to trigger a desktop flow from the cloud.

I have registered the machine through Power Automate machine runtime and can actually see the machine and the desktop flows.

When I try to create an scheduled cloud flow I receive the error message:
Some of the connections are not authorized yet. If you just created a workflow from a template, please add the authorized connections to your workflow before saving.

So I try to setup a connection for Desktop flows and get the following error message:

Connection failed: [Machine 93a8c0f6-79e3-4502-b21b-c0f00d95f6bd] Connection failed: Could not map connection MSEntraID to AD user on the target machine domain-joined. Please check with your Domain Controller admin that onpremisesSecurityIdentifier is synced with MSEntra.

Based on the error message it looks like your trying to use your Office 365 credentials, but the PC you are running the flow on isn't connected to an AD domain that is connected to Office 365. Open a Command prompt on the PC and type WhoAmI. That will tell you if you are logged in as a local user, a local domain user, or an Office 365 user. That is the credential you need for the connection.

Hi,

1. Check Desktop Flow Connection

In your cloud flow, ensure you have a "Desktop flows" connection added

This connection should be configured to use your registered machine or machine group

If the connection shows as "Not authorized," you need to authorize it

2. Authorize the Desktop Flow Connection

Click on the "Desktop flows" connection in your cloud flow

Select "Add new connection" if none exists

Choose your registered machine from the dropdown

Provide the credentials (username/password) for the machine

Test the connection to ensure it's working

3. Verify Machine Runtime Status

Ensure your machine is online and the Power Automate machine runtime is running

Check that the machine appears as "Available" in the Power Automate portal under "Machines"

Restart the machine runtime service if necessary

4. Check Permissions

Verify you have the necessary permissions to run desktop flows on the target machine

Ensure the user account has "Log on as a service" rights on the machine

The account should also have permission to run the specific desktop flow

5. Re-configure the Trigger

After fixing the connection, you may need to reconfigure your scheduled trigger

Save the flow and test it to ensure the connection is properly established

Common Additional Issues:

Make sure the machine is joined to the same environment as your cloud flow

Verify that desktop flows are enabled in your Power Platform environment

Check that the machine isn't already running another desktop flow (if not configured for multiple sessions)
