    I figured it out.
    My problem was that I didn't disable "uiAccess" in the "TestExecute.exe.manifest".

     

    <security>
        <requestedPrivileges>
            <requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false"/>
        </requestedPrivileges>
</security>

    So the Desktop interaction was needed according to the Manifest of the app.

     

    With this attribute to false, TE doesn't require a Desktop / UI Access. So I can start my test directly from TeamCity and this domain system account without interaction with the Desktop.

     

    Thank you all for your help !!

Hi,

 

> So what do you mean when you said TestExecute does not require an interactive user session ?

I mean that I had a project that did not interact with GUI and executed all actions that did not required UI (cmd calls, WMI calls, etc.). This project was started as a scheduled task on the machine with no user logged on and executed without any problem.

 

What if you try to do the same - setup a scheduled task that will start TestExecute on behalf of this domain account, log out and wait until the task is expected to finish. Log in and check result / log. In case of problem, you may report this as a problem to Support (https://support.smartbear.com/message/?prod=TestComplete). If the project executed as expected, then this will mean that the problem is somewhere around TeamCity's client.
