- Somehow run the progams (urlBlast, wptdriver, etc.) as services so the agent system can be locked. I am setting up WPT internally so we can test applications that are still in Dev/Test and running an unlocked WPT agent with an admin account, connected to the corporate network without a screensaver is a big NO/NO for our security team ...

Would they be happier if the machines were actually VM's inside of a locked ESXi container? The test agents work really well on VMWare so that is an option. I may be able to code around the admin permissions but the unlocked desktop is a necessity for doing actual rendering. We might be able to do something with a headless webkit browser but IE, Chrome and Firefox will need a real desktop for getting useful results (and video capture).

Yep, the only holdup is Dummynet. If you don't want to do traffic shaping you can run on 64-bit (you could use an external box or VM with a fixed profile if you don't test different speeds). I have it on my list to get the dummynet driver working on 64-bit windows.

Thanks,
