Context:
Host Machine:
- Dell Dimension
- Windows 7 32-bit
Guest Machine:
- Windows 7 32-bit
- Running on an external hard drive
Preceding Steps:
I made a copy of an existing VM that had no password on the sole account. Then, I logged in to the new copy. The account I used was named "Zian" because I made the original VM. This copy will be used by someone else and I want copy and paste to work so I made a new account called "M" and gave the account a trivial password. Then, I shut down the VM.
Steps to Reproduce the Problem:
- Start the VM.
- Type in the trivial password into the prompt for the "M" user.
- Notice that the Windows 7 login screen appears anyway. Grumble as needed.
- Type in the trivial password for "M" and hit enter again.
Expected Result: Get logged in.
Actual Result:
To log into this remote computer, you must have have Terminal Server User Access permissions on this computer...
Bonus Problem:
Now, if you try to click on the "Zian" user that has no password, you'll get an error message saying that the account has no password.
Ultimate Result:
A virtual machine that locked everyone out.
