Autologin render user & Deadline Monitor

Deadline
1

Hi!

We’re setting up our workstations to be rendernodes, and I’d like to have the render user log on to them automatically, and the artists will then use switch-user to log themselves in.

The render user automatically starts the deadline launcher and slave.

If an artist then logs on (with switch user), and tries to start the Deadline Monitor, the Monitor starts in the render user desktop and not on the artist’s desktop :confused:

Is there any way around that?

Cheers,
SebastianH

Hello Sebastian,

Sorry, it looks like your post slipped through the cracks here. Only one instance of the monitor and launcher can be running on a computer. Therefore, the only way an artist could launch the monitor is if the render user exited it before the switch.
