Run test on a locked computer without using remote desktop

Hi,  I'm trying to run a test through a batch file which is running a bunch of other things (non-testcomplete related).

I
have it running from Scheduled Tasks at midnight, and the computer is
usually locked at that point.  I would like the test to run without
having to do it remotely, but can't seem to find any documentation about
it.  If anyone knows how to do this that would be great, thanks!

    Hi Lisa,



    If your tests interact with the GUI, then there is no way to run them on the locked computer. The case is that the OS does not create UI when the computer is locked (or the user is not logged-in). This is the essential OS behavior and not the problem of TestComplete.

    If your tests does not interact with GUI, than you should be able to run them without any problem.
