Why do all message submissions and receive functions fail when there is no user logged into the server console?

BizTalk Server installs a COM+ package that is run as the Interactive 
User. If there is no Interactive User, which means no one is logged on 
to the server console, then the COM+ package will fail. The workaround 
for this issue is to use a service account with the necessary rights, 
privileges, and permissions needed to run the COM+ package. To 
implement such an account:
1.
 Create a user account for use with BizTalk Server services.
2.
 Grant the user account "log on as a batch job" privileges.
3.
 Edit the BizTalk Server Out-of-Process Package and set the identity of 
the COM+ package to the user account you have created, instead of the 
Interactive User.
