Tests running on locked Server 2012 that handles a dialog will get stuck

If you use a scheduling server on a Server 2012 machine, run a test that needs to interact with a dialog while the machine is locked, the test will permanently hang when the dialog shows up. The test doesn't fail, it simply gets stuck at the Handle Dialog test step.

Hi, this is not a Test Studio-specific problem. It is a general issue of all automation tools. Dialog handling, keyboard and mouse actions will fail in this scenario. Here you can read an article about this problem: http://docs.telerik.com/teststudio/user-guide/knowledge-base/test-execution/no-tests-execute-on-locked-machine.aspx

Manually handling the dialog will continue the test. 

If you have any other test that were scheduled to run after the one that gets hung up they will also run but even if you watch them run you get an emailed result of 0-0 tests run.
