Why not just use Virtual PC 2007?

Hi,

Thanks for your excellent explanation. It got me past the first hurdle. Now I can see the admin page at least!

As I am struggeling to get the next step done, I would like to ask you if you can help me past the second one.

I now try to create a virtual machine, but then get the message: The virtual machine could not be created. The default virtual machine configuration directory could not be retrieved. User does not have sufficient access rights.

I am logged in as an administrator (the only user is me) on my own laptop, but for some reason I cannot just do everything on my own laptop.

I would appreciate your help very much!

Thanks,

Edgar

Hi Waltheed - Just to confirm, are you running the Virtual Server administrator site with elevated permissions when you are attempting this scenario? If so, then I'm not sure what to suggest because I haven't run into this kind of scenario yet. You may want to try to search on some of the Virtual Server forums to see if anyone else has run into a similar issue and might have some workarounds to suggest.

I'm sorry I'm not able to be more helpful in this scenario.

I have Vista Ultimate 32 bit edition. I need to run Virtual Server 2005 to install a 2000 server os and exchange 2000. I have tried all of the steps to run virtual server yet I still get the message;

Could not connect to Virtual Server. Access Denied.

Is anyone aware of any more solutions?
