  %windir%\System32\tscon.exe %%s /dest:console
)

    Hi NisHera , I found your support case and see that you got a solution from our team.

    Let me quote it here:

     

    >>

    Unfortunately, this is not something I can help you with as this is an issue with Windows, not with TestComplete. I believe your local IT team should be able to help you out with this.
     
    However, quite often you don't even need tscon. This method redirects your session to console which has quite a small resolution. Depending on what you are testing, there is a high chance that your app will simply not fit into the console resolution, and your tests will fail. I suggest using SessionCreator to run unattended tests. It is capable of creating sessions for any users in the system. Note that this tool has a set of requirements that you have to meet before you can use it properly. The requirements are the same as for our Jenkins integration. So please go through this article and adjust the necessary settings (ignore Jenkins-related points).

    Can you go to that instance manually and run the test with that user name?

        Does the script work for any other user name?

    Hi,

     

    AFAIK, this command requires elevated permissions and I am not sure that membership in the local admins group provides them.

    Can you start the script using the Run As Administrator context menu option? (I understand it that this command is executed out of TestComplete test code.) Does it execute with or without the error?

      AlexKaras  yes always I run commands as Administrator.

      TanyaYatskovska  no unfortunately I'm still struggling . I had a AWS instance previously running same OK. This was a new AWS Instance and I'm having admin roll in the machine. our tech guy says, I dont have a role/user in the AWS console yet. Dose that matters?

       

      more information............

      when I run 

       

       

      query user

       

       

        gets Sessionname as rdp-tcp#1

      and then I ran 

       

       

      %windir%\System32\tscon.exe RDP-Tcp#1 /dest:console

       

       

      works fine ...I was successfully disconnected without session being stopped.

       

      when Quering user I see...

       

      my_userName

       

      but error message says

       

      MY_UserName

       

      is it something to do with case sensitivity ?

      if so how could I correct it
