Setup Samples

This page describes a mapping between various real-life scenarios and the corresponding Orchestrator setup.

Illustrative Scenarios

1 Account/Machine Combination

John was provided a laptop by the company he works for, on which he works day after day.

He logs in on his laptop using his credentials.

The unique identifier (machine name) of the laptop is JOSMITH.

• 1 Account
• 1 Machine

• 1 account/machine combination - stays the same day after day.

  Orchestrator Setup
  One machine template. One floating robot for the user. The robot runs under John's user account and is identified using the domain\username syntax. Floating robots are automatically created at the user level. John connects his UiPath Robot to Orchestrator using the key generated by the machine template.

2 Account/Machine Combinations

John and Jane work as call center operators. They work in 2 shifts on the same computer.

They each log in on the computer using their credentials.

The unique identifier of the laptop is PC345.

• 2 Accounts
• 1 Machine

• 2 account/machine combinations - stay the same day after day: {(John - PC345), (Jane - PC345)}.

  Orchestrator Setup
  One machine template. Two floating robots. Floating robots are automatically created at user level. Both John and Jane connect their UiPath Robots to Orchestrator using the key generated by the machine template.

3 Account/Machine Combinations

John, Jane, and Alice work on virtual machines, on persistent virtual desktop images delivered to their endpoint devices over a network. Each of them uses the same VM day after day.

They each log in on the VMs using their credentials.

The unique identifiers of the VMs are JOH32,JAN43, and ALI65

• 3 Accounts
• 3 Machines

• 3 account/machine combination which stay the same day after day: {(John - JOH32), (Jane - JAN43), (Alice - ALI65)}

  Orchestrator Setup
  One machine template. Three floating robots. Floating robots are automatically created at user level. Each account connects their UiPath Robots to Orchestrator using the key generated by that same machine template.

9 Account/Machine Combinations

John, Jane, and Alice work on virtual machines, on non-persistent virtual desktop images delivered to their endpoint devices over a network. Each day, they are arbitrarily assigned to a VM from a pool of 3 VMs.

They each log in on the VMs using their credentials.

The unique identifiers of the VMs are: VM10,VM11,VM12.

• 3 Accounts
• 3 Machines

• 9 account/machine combinations which are random {( John- VM10), (John - VM11), (John - VM12), ( Jane- VM10), (Jane - VM11), (Jane - VM12), (Alice - VM10), (Alice - VM11), (Alice - VM12)}

  Orchestrator Setup
  One machine template. Three floating robots. Floating robots are automatically created at user level. Each account connects their UiPath Robots to Orchestrator using the key generated by that same machine template.
