| Guest | VS2005 security - domain users can't start VM's Hi, We've recently deployed VS2005 onto Windows 2008 64Bit and (after much trial & error as well as web searching) we've managed to get to a point where the VMRC client will connect to the new VS installation and users can access the running machines. The big problem we have however is that anyone who isn't an administrator of the host machine isn't able to start a VM! The error message which is displayed in the Virtual Server Event Log is: "<VM Name>" could not start because it is being used by another program, or marked as read-only. I've triple-checked the file and folder attributes and the files aren't read-only or in use (that I can tell). This also doesn't seem likely as an admin can start a machine which a domain user can't. The permissions on the folders containing the VM's has been set to allow Read, Write and Modify access to our Domain Users using a security group which everyone's in. I don't want to add everyone as a local administrator of the server but can't currently see any other solution. For reference, the entire error message is pasted below. Thanks in advance for anyone's input, Andy Log Name: Virtual Server Source: Virtual Server Date: 16/02/2009 09:59:00 Event ID: 1067 Task Category: Virtual Machine Level: Error Keywords: Classic User: DOMAIN\username Computer: SERVER.Domain.co.uk Description: "VM Name" could not be started because it is being used by another program, or marked as read-only.
