I received this error no matter who'e credentials I use. The virtual machine manager is running and I did restart it and still caannot connect. I also tried, based on one suggestion, changing the virtual machine manager service logon to a domain account and I received the following error when tring to restart the service:
Error 1297; A PRIVILEGE THAT THE SERVICE REQUIRES TO FUNCTION PROPERLYDOES NOT EXIST IN THE SERVICE ACCOUNT CONFIGURATION
When I googled that error the suggestion was to make sure the logon account was part of the create global objects. That didn't help.
What else can I try.
