    See Disconnecting From Remote Desktop While Running Automated Tests.

     

    There needs to be an active session on your remote machine. You log into your remote machine using User1. Call tscon to disconnect your session (it will remain active). Then call SessionCreator with parameters e.g. /UserName:User1 /password:'Password1' /UseActiveSession.

     

    SessionCreator can not log into your remote machine, but it can connect to an active session.

Ah yes, I forgot /ScreenResolution:"1920*1080" parameter as well. When you don't specify the screen resolution parameter it defaults to something like 1024*768. Also your VM needs to have enough video memory to support 1920*1080 too.

 

If your tests are using OCR, then you need to use the exact resolution.
