Virtual Server 2005 question: rebooting the host server, guest OS doesnt start..

Message:

I have installed vs 2005 on an x64 server.. if i log into that
server.. the guest OS servers will start up AFTER i login.. but if i
reboot the host server and dont log in.. they dont start up..

Is there a way somewhere to set this so the guest OS's will start
without someone being logged in? I'm assuming there has to be a
way...

Thanks

You can also create startup and shutdown scripts to handle this. We create
a shutdown script which creates a list of those machines there were running
when the shutdown was initiated. It then puts those systems in to saved
state. Upon host startup, the script reads this list and restores the
guests to running state.

FYI; The addition of KB941125 worked like a charm in solving the freezing
during save states. I have not seen a freeze in the past 4 days and have
run through all scripting tasks that previously caused the freezing problems
of the virtual server. I still have not found anyone that knows what
changed in VS 2005 R2 SP1 from just VS 2005 R2 that would have caused this.
Anyway, hope this can help others.

That was easy.. cant believe i missed it..

however.. one other question..

Is there a way to specify a local account? ie: as of now i am using
a domain account like domain\vsserviceaccount

I tried doing .\localaccount but it said the password / account was
invalid...

I also tried localmachinename\account

The reason why i want to go local is this:

(This isnt the brightest thing to have setup right now, but i must
deal with it short term):

I have two virtual domain controller servers on this box that i'm
referencing here..
So if this box reboots there is no way to contact the domain to start
them up automatically.
If i could use a local account this would solve that issue.

I will be splitting them onto two different boxes with 2 weeks, but
even then, if both boxes are down at same time and come up at the same
time, i'd have the same issue.

Thanks
