Gennadiy is correct. If the automation needs to interact with the UI of the application under test, there needs to be some means for it to interact. First of all, if it's logged off, it may be that it cannot run TE at all. Secondly, even if it can run TE, since it is logged off, it cannot interact with a UI that cannot be displayed.
I hadn't thought about the RebootAndContinue method... that's an intriguing work-around that I'll have to try. However, what you probably should do is, for that VM, have it open in some sort of Console window on your VM server and then lock the server... that way the VM is always open, logged in and running but you preserve your security by locking down the server access to it.
