Win Server 2008 Stnd

Ok. Got VPC up and running. Installed Server ISO on the Vmachine. It boots
fine then give me the ctrl+alt+del screen. I got to the menu bar and do that
then it comes up with a login of other user. How do I login for the first
time? I have not set up a user and pass yet on it. Clean install right now

Thanks

Todd

You setup your password at the login screen after the install.

That is the problem. After I install, it is giving me a screen that says
Other user. I click and it asks for login and I have never been instruction
to set one up

If it is server 2008, try administrator as the usernme with a blank
password. It will then ask you to change the password and log you in.
