I get the following error message when I try to logon to the VS:

"Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain controller
is down or otherwise unavailable, or because your computer account was not
found. Please try again later. If this message continues to appear, contact
your system administrator for assistance."

Thanks for the clarification. As I mentioned, when you connect to the
Virtual Server Administration website to administer VS2005, you would be
prompted for your credentials...

The two Virtual Server services run under security accounts that have low
privileges: The Virtual Server service (Vssrvc.exe) runs under the Network
Service account, which has limited access to the local computer and
authenticated access (as the computer account) to network resources. The
Virtual Machine Helper service (Vmh.exe) runs under the Local Service
account. This account has limited access to the local computer and anonymous
access to network resources.

Hope this helps,
--Ryan
