Win 2008 Server Auto Login

[TylerMitton]

Does anyone have experience using Windows 2008 Server with Automation Anywhere tasks?

I've read that the auto login feature does not work for 2008 Server. I'm wondering if anyone has tried it... or found a work around if it doesn't work.

I am building a server that will only run AA tasks (using exe's)... all day and night... every day. There will be several tasks running at the same time... up to 30 running at once.

I'm going to use a 64-bit OS so that I can have more than 4 GB of RAM.

I've been planning to use Windows 2008 Server (64-bit), but I'm wondering if I should consider putting Windows XP Pro (64-bit) onto the machine to avoid the auto-login problem. Or would Windows Server 2003 (64-bit) work with the auto login feature?

forumsupport, or anyone else, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks!

Tyler

Hello,

Unfortunately, auto login feature is not supported with exe of task. Auto login feature is available for tasks (.atmn file) only with Operating System limitation for e.g. Vista and Windows 2008 Server. However, you can use Windows Scheduler to schedule exe (of task) but again auto login would not be possible.

We have forwarded this requirement to the product development team for the future version of product.

Ok, thanks for the info. Can you confirm that autologin does work with Windows Server 2003 Standard 64 bit?
