Hi, I'm currently running GUI tests on a Windows Server 2008 slave without any problems. What I found out is, that the slave has to be connected via Java Web Start. (It did not work running the slave as a Windows service - even with access to the desktop). A user has to be logged on and both screensaver and auto-log out should be deactivated. I never connected to the slave via Remote Desktop Connection (RDC), only VNC.
I'm not sure if it depends on the kind of GUI tests you are running. In my case they are Eclipse based GUI tests (running with WindowTester Pro). So while I can't give you detailed instructions how to fix your specific problem, I can report that it's working for me at least. So there is a way! :) I'd suggest trying to disable RDC and use VNC instead, if that is an viable option.
