Hello, I am researching running a BWS script daily at 11:30pm based on some conditions. This is a time when no one is in the office and thus it would need to be unmanaged. I looked into the Schedule feature in BWS and in the documentation it says: "There are 5 factors that will prevent or delay Scheduled Scripts from running: ... The Boston WorkStation is not running." We have a Windows server we could run this on, what is the best way you would accomplish this? I could remote in once and setup a schedule for it to run, but from what I've read on the knowledge base (below) it does not seem this will go well if the screen is not "active". "The safe advice is, the desktop must be logged in and active. Or to describe it another way, a user could be sitting in front of that PC, and could see the screen." So no one would be there to remote in and make the desktop "active". I have made a few attempts, but came across various issues such as "Yes/No" prompt popups in Meditech are never seen by BWS and often the script ends up hanging at that point. Has anybody accomplished this so that an unmanaged scheduled script is consistently reliable? Thank you, Tyler Nielson Applications Analyst I.S.
