I believe in most cases, your script will run fine if no Windows user is logged in.
However, in my experience, there can be problems with the Watir::IE.attach method if no one is logged in to the machine. I believe this is because IE.attach uses the Shell.Application OLE object, which behaves differently if it's not run from an interactive user session. Specifically, what I've seen is that attach isn't able to get a list of open IE windows belonging to the shell unless it's running as a logged-in user. Anyway, as far as I know, all the other Watir methods should work fine in this case.
