Error while connecting SCVMM
- Today i installed SCVMM server and SCVMM Administrator console on the same VM using Hyper-V. i also have SQL enterprise 2008 installed on this VM.i get no errors whatsoever while installing SCVMM. when i finish the installation and try to connect the SCVMM inside the same VM using SCVMM Admin Console, i changed the Server name to HYPER01:8100 (Hyper01 is the name of the VM)but it gives me an error message
You cannot contact the Virtual Machine Manager server. The credentials provided have insufficient privileges on HYPER01.
Ensure that your account has access to the Virtual Machine Manager server HYPER01, and then try the operation again.

can anyone help?

- I finally figured it out. SCVMM service was logged on as a localsystem. i had to change the log on information to my account domain\username and use my password. then everything was fine.

-First, you need to ensure that you open the Administrator Console using the same account that you used to install the VMM server component. Once you open up the console, you can go to the Administration tab and select User Roles. From there, you can add more users as VMM administrators which can open the Console.
-If you are trying to open up the console under the same user account that installed VMM, it is possible you are hitting a VMM beta only bug that was fixed for RTM. This bug has a workaround. Simply execute the following SQL statement on the database that houses the VMM DB and try to start the Administrator Console again.
ALTER DATABASE <VMMDBName> SET TRUSTWORTHY ONThere are risks with setting the trustworthy flag on, however, this is the only workaround . Make sure you turn this flag off if you decide to keep the same DB when you upgrade your VMM installation to RTM.

I have finally figured this out.
The VMM service runs under the Local System account, I changed it to use the domain account I logged in with. I also had to change the SQL service account to use the same domain account the VMM service runs under.
Prior to performing the above actions, I modified the certificate in MMC > Certificates to not use the Smart Card option from the users profile. Shown below. To make this modification. Follow these steps.
1. Open MMC
2. Open > File > Add/Remove Snap-ins
3. Select Certificates, and click Add (ensure Current – User is selected)
4. Click OK
5. Navigate to > Personal > Certificates
6. Double click on the user Cert
7. Select the Details Tab, > click the Edit Properties
8. Select “Enable only the following purposes
9. Uncheck Smart Card Logon
After the above actions was performed, I then modified the service account the VMM and SQL service was using to use a domain account, and things started working.
Richard Dixon MSFT Sr Systems Engineer- I have exactly the same problem with SCVMM R2 on Windows 2008 (non-R2) but the above solution does not fix my problem. Are there any other work arounds available? What is causing this problem?
Thanks - Anybody?
Since my last post, I installed the admin console on a Windows 7 box but I still get the 1605 error. I verified that the services are using a domain accound and that the account has the appropriate user rights but no joy. What am I missing?
