Enabling Unattended Robot Mode/LogonExpert

Enabling unattended robot mode

By default, a Nintex Robot is installed as an attended robot. Follow these steps to configure it as an unattended robot:

  1. With a text editor, open the file C:\Program Files\Nintex Kryon Robot\Config\appSettings.config

  2. Find the line that reads: <add key="RunAutomationEnabled" value="False" />, and change the value to True

    • The full line should now read: <add key="RunAutomationEnabled" value="True" />

See Unattended installation error when using non-default ports for troubleshooting in case of a port-related error received by Client Watchdog.

Enabling LogonExpert

This step is not relevant for Nintex Terminal Server Robot.

For information about Terminal Server Robot Configuration see here: Configuring Nintex Terminal Server Robot

If the unattended robot will be permitted to unlock locked Windows sessions in order to run tasks, follow these steps to enable LogonExpert:

  1. In the same file, find the line that reads: <add key="EnableLogonExpert" value="False" />, and change the value to True

    • The full line should now read: <add key="EnableLogonExpert" value="True" />
