    Hi,

    The setup is:
    1 - SCVMM 2008 on a windows 2008 64 bit. Controls several Hyper-V and Virtual servers. The setup was the default setup options with SQL Express locally.

    I'm getting that error when trying to connect from my Windows XP Professional SP3.

    Things that I already tried: Add my xp domain user account to local administrators and the Administrator User Role on the VMM server. I also enabled remote connections to SQL, and I can connect to the SCVMM SQL using SQL Server management Studio Express.

    But I still get that error, any clues?

    Thank you all.

    THanks guys. I was also dealing with the 1604 error. It seems to me the problem is when you specufy the local system account for the vmm service. when I was experiencing the failure, i notice the service kept stopping. Changing this to a domain account resolved i for me, as this is a lab deployment, i just used my domain\administrator account.

    good luck
