Christian Saborío's Blog

The blog deals mostly with problems and their respective solutions that I find on day to day basis at my current workplace. Most of the issues so far deal specifically with Virtualization (mostly Microsoft related), 64-bit migration, and Windows 2003 issues. Many of the problems I have faced in various projects have been solved by reading someone else's blog. This is an effort to pay back and hopefully someone will be able to solve some of their problems by reading something within these pages.

Error Starting Carmine: The credentials provided do not have sufficient privileges on localhost

Today, while creating the final image for our SCVMM (System Central Virtual Machine Manager), one of the guys in our team stumbled into a problem in which the SCVMM (which I will refer to as Carmine from now on), was refusing to start up even though we had met every pre-requisite it had listed.  We were completely baffled, the error given was:

Access denied while contacting the Virtual Machine Manager server.  The credentials provided do not have sufficient privileges on localhost.(ID: 1605)

The account had full admin privileges, so what could be wrong?  The machine had joined our domain, how come it did not have the right credentials?  Well, after a while Jose suggested to check if the DNS were set to that of the domain controller (see previous entry regarding this) and indeed that was the culprit.  After setting the DNS severs, Carmine started up without any problems.

I appreciate your help.
