Prepare your TestExecute machine as mentioned in Running Tests via Remote Desktop

Create your batch file to run your TC project on the VM. Run it, and make sure it works. Then create a scheduled task to call the batch file on your VM. Run the scheduled task, and make sure it works.

On the VM, call tscon. This will disconnect you from the VM, but your session will remain active. From another computer, connect to your VMs Task Scheduler, and run the the schedule task, make sure it works.

If you connect to your VM, Task Manager will show two active sessions. Your current session and the pervious session.

Try and understand how the above works, and you should then be able to configure your job.

If you run the following, you'll see the output it generates. And, tscon is expecting either session id or name as a parameter
for /f "skip=1 tokens=3" %s in ('query user %USERNAME%') do (echo %s) or query user %USERNAME%

Hi Raghavani,

thanks for taking time to help us out. This solved our issue.
Things done:
1. On Machine 2, created a bat file using the below code:
for /f "skip=1 tokens=3" %%s in ('query user %USERNAME%') do (
%windir%\System32\tscon.exe %%s /dest:console
)
USERNAME is the username of Machine3

2. On our pipeline, added the .bat file into our repo and created the task scheduler,
