Logging into a VM machine

Thread solved

I installed the agent on a VM server and I cannot seem to gain remote control unless a user is logged into the machine.

If the user is logged into the machine,  then I can gain control with the users credentials.  I assumed I would be able to log into the remote machine with credentials and not need to have a person logged into the machine. 

I also notice if I remote desktop into the computer and then take control with acronis,  then minimize the RDP session the Acronis connect session freezes.   

I am using "system logon" 

Is this expected behavor?

Hello Wayne.

Welcome to the forum!

To activate the complete remote desktop and assistance functionality for a managed workload, you must configure and apply an agent plan to the workload. Although you can apply only one agent plan on a workload, depending on your needs, you can configure different agent plans and apply them to different workloads.

Please also check if you quota allows you to perform those actions ( the Standard edition has more limitations, probably the advanced would grant you the features you want ): https://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/CyberProtectionServ…

Regarding the second situation I would advise you to raise a ticket, because that's not an expected behavior. The program shouldn't free and this requires an investigation https://kb.acronis.com/content/8153

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks in advance!

I was able to connect a couple of VM Machines but when I try to connect to one machine I am getting "No suitable user session is found".

Hello Wayne.

This error means that you're trying to access a session using inappropriate credentials. 
How many user accounts do you have on this remote computer? What are these users' statuses (admin or not)? Do these accounts have passwords?

The case is it's impossible to connect to a Windows computer with system logon if the user has no password enabled. It's also impossible to connect to the Administrator session with another Administrator's credentials. 

So could you please try to connect using another authentication type, e.g an access code? If it works, it confirms that the wrong credentials are used during the connection.

Please try the following: 

- Change the authentication from system logon to “no authentication” , that should solve the issue.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

The error message "No suitable user session is found" typically indicates that the remote control software is unable to find an active user session on the target VM machine. This error commonly occurs when the software requires an active user session to establish a remote connection.
