Abstract: A robotic process automation system processes task processing instructions which are operable to interact at a user level with user level application programs to process work items. A first server processor responds to a request to perform an automation task to automatically process without human user input, a work item by transmitting requests to an autologin program executing on a second server processor device to initiate a plurality of remote desktop protocol oriented processes within an operating system executing on the second server, where the remote desktop protocol oriented processes provide a graphical user interface to an authorized user. Credentials for the authorized users of the remote desktop protocol oriented processes are provided by one or more of the plurality of sets of task processing instructions, which upon logging into the corresponding remote desktop protocol oriented process, process the work items as encoded in the task processing instructions.
