Add Virtual Machine Using existing .vmc file

Source: microsoft.public.virtualserver

Message:

I am attempting to add a virtual machine using an existing .vmc file.

When I try to add the machine, I receive the error:

The virtual machine could not be added. The virtual machine configuration
could not be added. A configuration with this name already exists.

I scrubbed the file systems and registry and cannot find an occurance of the
file name other than the one that I'm trying to add.

Where is registered virtual machine information kept? Is it as easy as
removing the "orphaned" machine name?
