RDP Authentication Issue - Need Local Processing Workaround

[Srivastava_Shrey]

Problem

I’m running my UiPath bot on a remote desktop session (RDP), but facing an Excel authentication issue. When the bot downloads Excel files, I can’t edit them because Excel requires sign-in, and I cannot sign into Excel on the RDP environment.

Proposed Solution

I’m thinking of this workflow:

1. Bot on RDP downloads Excel files to a common network folder
2. Bot then processes the Excel file on my local computer (where I’m already signed in)
3. Updated Excel file gets moved to SharePoint destination folder

Question

Is this approach feasible in UiPath? Can a bot seamlessly work across RDP and local environments using a network folder as the bridge?

Has anyone implemented something similar where file processing needed to switch from remote to local due to authentication constraints?

Any guidance or alternative solutions would be appreciated!

Environment: UiPath on Windows RDP, Excel files, SharePoint destination

Hi @Srivastava_Shrey

Can you please login to rdp machine using your bot credentials and open excel?

It may be the case that first time setup is required and then it should work.

@Srivastava_Shrey,

You can try disabling it from the Process on the Orchestrator.
