Then I would suggest creating a batch script or something that starts the service when the user logs in by putting it in the startup folder.

However I stopped the service and ran it directly via the command line. That in fact did work. A bit sloppy, but that's just the way windows is. Thanks for everyone's help! bc On May 1, 2014 11:07 AM, "Mark Mikulec" < miku...@gmail.com > wrote: There is no option to interact with desktop (unless its a command line switch).

As I said, you could set up a slave service to run on this machine for certain jobs and have that be under local system.

Which is why I'm confused that it doesn't work. Maybe its because its a service?

I have an automated test I'm trying to run that requires initialization of the graphics driver, and thus I need a window to pop up in Windows. Is there anyway within a Jenkins project to make a command run it in interactive, on the desktop mode instead of it being headless? I have already switched the Jenkins user to use it's own independent system account, windows login and all, but that still hasn't done the trick.
