During automated builds:

  1. Make sure there is a desktop running for the build agent
  2. On Windows, disable Remote Desktop because it can kill the desktop the build agent is using - use VNC instead because it won't log you out (if you configure it that way)
  3. On Windows, use a local user account for the build agent, not a service account
  4. On Windows, if you launch the build agent with the 'cmd' command use the '/k' option not the '/c' option - this prevents the command window from closing and orphaning the build agent
