Since this (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/newthread?category=&forum=ssdsgetstarted) doesn't work, I figured I would try another approach.
I have a VM that is up and running and is used daily. I need a new VM set up exactly the same way. So I created a new VM using my existing VM from the gallery. It was created as a Standalone VM. Once it is provisioned and started I want to RDP into it. RDP opens, I type the password. Cannot connect, credentials did not work.
Hmmm, RDP into the original VM, type the password and viola, I'm in. Type the password into the new VM, credentials do not work.
Type the password into notepad so I can see it. Confirm that it is correct. RDP into the original VM, paste the password, success. RDP into the new VM, paste the password, fail.
So, what the hell is the new password? Creating the new VM changes the password to some unknown value?
