You may want to right-click on the winautobox EXE and give it administrator priveledges....

See if that helps,

 If there is no user connected to the machine where the compiled job is supposed to run, then, interactive actions (like mouse clicks and keystrokes) are out of the picture anyways. Basically, a user needs to be logged in, either physically, or you can implement an autologin solution.

Can you point me in the right direction in finding out how to create an autologin solution?

You can check this:

It is describing how you can implement an autologin solution in Windows 2003.

 up, I have a question, Auto login, and does it stay ? How long till next log off and key, mouse are disabled?

I do not really understand much, what if the job takes too long, will the VPS shut down again?

IF I set trigger every 5 mins, and the job takes 10 mins, then double jobs will happen. As they use mouse, then it would be error because the 2nd job will overide 1st job.

HI ntlntl,

Once you have logged in, the vps wont logout till you tell it to.

It will act as if there was a user behind the screen controlling it, and will not shut down or auto log off unless you tell it to.

I have follow all the instruction and it was succefull to login but i still got error :

"Failed to move mouse in non-interactive mode"

Please help ... what should i do now?

 "Once you have logged in, the vps wont logout till you tell it to."

It's because the exe file that does that? As I know, if we don't touch remote desktop window, and after we close the window, the window VPS instance is consider to be idle, it still runs, but no mouse and keyboard can be used. 

I read the article, but there is no where explain why it doesn't log off, and do we have to stay logged in, and leave the window running or not.

And the part"The last action of your main job could be a "Log Off" action to automatically log off." I don't understand this too. Why we have to log off? I wish to use VPS to run bot 24/7, it means we have to log off and wait for few mins then the bot will login, and do the main job, then repeat?

Waiting for winauto team to answer ... i need this too ...

My mistake, maybe I did not explain it right.

The Implement Autologin works for machines were no user is logged in. Once it's logged you in, you can do anything you want with the machine. If you logg off, either manually or using the "Log off User" action or lock the machine manually or use the "Lock Workstation" action you will be able to do as wanted. No one says you need to log off if you don't want to. It's not mandatory or anything.

Failed to move mouse in not Interactive mode would mean that there is possibly no user logged in, and to use the mouse actions or the window and keyboard actions you need to have a user logged in. This is where the Implement autologin job comes in handy.

Samantha ...

mine it was successfull to login using auto login ... but ... i still got the error ...

"Failed to move mouse in non-interactive mode"

Please help

Hi Daian,

The only thing I can think of, is that you have set the job to run in non interactive mode only. Please check the job's properties (right click on the job and select "Edit Job Properties".

Does "Run Job As:" If user is logged in:

have the "Run as system User (non-interactive mode) selected? If so, please change it to Run as Logged In user.

:)
Samantha

Ye it is

If user is logged in: the "Run as system User (non-interactive mode) was selected

so any solution?

Hi!

Could you please elaborate on the Windows Server version you're running this on to get these results?

Did you get around it?

:)
