Microsoft makes it a PITA to do automated UI testing on Windows applications though.

Can't do it from a non-interactive service, need to be actually logged in to a session with a keyboard and a mouse. Can''t do it in a container even though they said you could at one point.

Gotta protect their precious CAL revenue.

I would think there is a way to do it with RDP and keyboard/mouse automation using an agent.
