Hi,

 

>  I can see that it is not able to identify the object

This is expected for TestComplete due to how Windows OS functions - there is no active user desktop for the locked session where the tested application can render its UI and thus TestComplete cannot identify the UI object that has not been rendered.

TestExecute Lite - a special edition of TestExecute - provides a functionality that solves this problem - https://support.smartbear.com/testexecute/docs/running/cross-platform-tests/about.html,

Check documentation and ask Support additional questions if any via the https://support.smartbear.com/message/?prod=TestComplete form.

 

P.S. Note, that unattended tests execution via TestExecute Lite works only for the projects created for cross-platform testing and requires Selenium grid.
