Hi, I am trying to have my test suite execute during the night on my execution server. I have created my execution plan in SCTM (Windows 2008 R2 server) and scheduled the tests to run at midnight. When I run playback on these tests manually, they pass. However, when the scheduled tests execute, they fail. This is because the screen is locked at the time of the scheduled execution. I have heard that the SIlkTest tests require access to the monitor, keyboard and mouse in order to simulate the actions of a real user. This makes sense however, if I need to log in at midnight, this defeats the purpose of a scheduled test. Also, when I arrive the morning after the scheduled tests ran, I login and the browser is open at the url that the first test is supposed to start at. If SilkTest requires the monitor to be active in order to run the tests, how did it even get as far as opening the browser and navigating to the URL? Basically, my issue is I need to have scheduled tests execute on a machine that will not have an active screen. Is this possible with SilkTest and how do I achieve this? Thanks for any advice. John
