We run automated watir tests remotely using psexec which allows us to attach to a specific user's session. If the VM/workstation reboots and this user is not logged back on the tests will fail due to not being able to open Internet Explorer.
Good luck figuring out what is going on. Scheduling it to run while you're at the office, but have locked the computer or do whatever you do at night might help you debug it.

Today When i came in the morning i saw that a bunch of scripts failed on Watir::Browser.start(url). But when i ran those individual scripts that failed one by one, they passed. Any idea why will it fail like that? failed to create WIN32OLE object from `InternetExplorer.Application' HRESULT error code:0x80004005 Unspecified error (WIN32OLERuntimeError) C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.7.1/lib/watir/ie-class.rb: 165:in `initialize' C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.7.1/lib/watir/ie-class.rb: 165:in `new' C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.7.1/lib/watir/ie-class.rb: 165:in `create_browser_window' C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.7.1/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:89:in `_new_window_init' C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.7.1/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:79:in `new_window' C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.7.1/lib/watir/ie-class.rb: 103:in `start_window' C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.7.1/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:97:in `start' C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/commonwatir-1.7.1/lib/watir/browser.rb: 71:in `start' Thanks, Sridhar > > -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support [1].
