But I verified the admin ID does have full access to the folders. furthermore it belongs administrators, domain Admins, enterprise admins,
What gives? what additional privilege I need to give to the login ID, I tried in vain adding to Virtual machines but got rejected. I also could not locate anything like virtual machines in the active directory,
Btw I finally managed to create a new VM wi/ VHD but still can't create new vhd
