In the Pre-Installation Checklist for RPA LE, listed under 'Review system requirements' and then 'Additional important requirements' it says:

  • Ensure that you are using a standard dedicated Windows session for each Nintex Bot user. Nintex RPA LE does not support shared/non-persistent user sessions in virtualization technologies. Non-persistent VDI environments do not meet the minimum Nintex RPA Central requirements to recognize a user session. You can use a Remote Desktop session to remote into a persistent Windows session on a virtual server as long as non-shared/persistent user sessions are set up on the server.


Instructions 

If the VDI supports the following three things, it should work:

  1. - VM must be running in a Windows Domain (with supported Active Directory)
  2. - VM must have a unique Machine Name
  3. - When logged into the different sessions with different users, the usernames are unique and logged into the machine using Active Directory.
The combination of a unique machine name + AD username is what defines a Bot as a unique Bot.
 
We support Microsoft Terminal Services which required a little added support for its unique architecture (shared user sessions sharing one machine profile).  If this does not work out of the box for them, we will need to investigate and add special support for it.

 


Additional Information

We would instead encourage the user to set up a VM running a persistent Windows session to comply with our requirements. Please see this link explaining the difference between Persistent-VDI-vs-Non-Persistent.
