ADNM problems on distribution in a Virtual Machine Network

Hello!

I used to have two virtual XP machines on my PC to run ADNM tests, since I use vista and MSDE isn’t Vista-friendly. I wanted to recreate that, but I’m having quite a problem when I try to distribute my installation package. I want to say again, it DID work in the past, it just doesn’t work anymore.

My VMs are set up on Sun’s Virtual Box, both with 128MB RAM. Again, it DID work on those settings.

I tried to set up the distribution task without any user accounts or password, since it isn’t (or at least I think it isn’t) on a domain, and I got an error. This is the log:

07/01/09 10:59:33: rinstInstall begin
07/01/09 10:59:33: Init 50 60 C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\aswA.tmp C:\Arquivos de programas\Alwil Software\Management Tools\InstPkgs NULL C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\asw9.tmp 0
07/01/09 10:59:34: Store
07/01/09 10:59:34: Domains:
07/01/09 10:59:34: Init GRUPO\VMXP1
07/01/09 10:59:34: VMXP1: GetAccount
07/01/09 10:59:34: VMXP1: not found in domain list
07/01/09 10:59:34: VMXP1: Finished with error
07/01/09 10:59:34: TerminateAll
07/01/09 10:59:34: rinstInstall end 87

There. Didn’t found the account on the domain list. Then I set up some acounts on the task (format: DOMAIN - USER - PASS):

    • Admin - admin
    • *\Admin - admin
      (nothing here) - Admin - admin

This is the log that ADNM made:

Both VMs can access the internet, ping eachother and ping the host, but the host can’t ping the VM.

Am I doing anything wrong?

are the firewalls turned on on the clients, if they are new installs or updated installs its possible that windows activated the firewalls again…

my brazilian portuguees is a little bit rusty, but doesnt this: (Falha de logon: nome de usuário desconhecido ou senha incorreta) (basicly) say
wrong logon: de username is incorrect?

Yes, but I tried every combination that Windows could think of: Admin, Administrator, Administrador, all of them with no password, wich is the setting on the WinXP installs.

I’ll see if I can turn off the firewall, probably that’s the problem.

if you are in a domain then you must use an domain administrator account and password, not the local
