Issue
When installing RPA, please note that in the Pre-Installation Checklist under Review domain requirements, it states:
- All machines with a Nintex Bot and Nintex RPA Central component must be joined, part of, and connected to an Active Directory Domain Services domain and not as a workgroup.
Please see the Pre-Installation checklist for more detail:

Additional Information
There are no workarounds to this requirement. If your company's environment does not meet these requirements, a Microsoft VM could be used with active directory installed on it.
Overview of RPA Central Domain support
- Which do we support?
- AAD - Azure Active Directory?
- NO
- This is a Cloud service that resides natively in Azure (NOT on an Azure VM)
- It is intended to manage Cloud applications. There is NO Group Policy and you can't join a Server or VMs to it.
- User permissions are given to Cloud applications directly (instead of machines).
-
- AADDS - Azure Active Directory Domain Services?
- YES
- This must be deployed on an Azure VM.
- This is better suited to manage On-Prem servers and applications. It is the traditional on-prem Active Directory that is deployed on an Azure VM Domain controller.
- You can also add Group Policy and client VMs to join it.
- Active Directory?
- YES
- This is for traditional on-prem Domain Servers and networks
