How to connect unattended robot to studio desktop app

Hi all,

I installed UiPath studio app in desktop and I tried to connect it with unattended robot created in orchestrator. When I inserted machine key and orchestrator URL I got message that it’s unknown host.

Then I re-install UiPath Studio app on desktop and removed option Register UiPath Robot as Windows Service and then I was able to connect studio with orchestrator, but I am not able to run unattended robot now.

Could you please advice what should be wrong? I think there has to be something with robot/machine in orchestrator.

Thank you.

@Flowis ,

Please make sure that,

1.To Verify machine key and Orchestrator URL correct.
2.Process is created and given the neccessary roles and permission to the robots
3.Check and configure the machine and robot settings in Orchestrator.

@Flowis,

I’m concidering you are trying to connect to Unattended bot for Remote Debugging.

You will have to make some settings in Unattended machine as well. Follow this documentation on how to configure it.

Thanks,
