Display on desktop

If checked, the Operation will be visible (allowed to interact) with the logged on user's desktop. This capability is provided so that an Operation can display on the desktop when the SmartBatch service is configured under a Specific Account or under System Account when Allow Service to Interact with Desktop is turned off.  

Note:  An Operation will also interact with the desktop if the SmartBatch service is configured under System Account and Allow Service to Interact with Desktop is checked.

See Service Environment and Security for a more detailed discussion about services, security and interacting with the desktop.

Warning

 The Interact with desktop option is provided primarily for testing purposes.

If a user logs off the desktop that has processes started by the SmartBatch Executive Service, these processes may be stopped by the Windows logoff processing.  In addition, you must consider who might be logged on to the computer and if the logged on user should be allowed access to this processing.
