How to keep Azure VM unlocked when close the RDC connection

Hi,

I am running the UiPath Community Version on my Azure VM. I have scheduled some processes on the machine. The problem I am facing is that when I close the RDC connection, the machine gets locked instantly. When machine gets locked the processes that runs foreground fails. Can anyone guide me with any solution that can help? Thanks in advance.

You can’t close the connection. You are supposed to be letting Orchestrator establish the connection to the server and run the job. You don’t log in, start the job, then close/log out. Log into the server with the robot account, then SIGN OUT from the start menu (don’t just close the window). Now run your job from Orchestrator, which is called unattended automation.

I have scheduled some jobs. They interact with UI and run on schedule. The connection with the orchestrator is built. I just want a solution around Azure VM that it should not be locked.

Again, you run the job from Orchestrator and it establishes the RDP connection to the server. You don’t log in, start the job, then log out nor close the window. And if you log into the server with the robot account then just close the RDP window, you leave the session active. You have to SIGN OUT - then run the job from Orchestrator.

Your solution is not working

What does “not working” mean? This is standard stuff, we run hundreds of jobs a day this way.

Did you install UiPath Robot in service mode on the server?

I already mentioned above that I am using community version.
