Thanks for answering but that's apparently not enough ... I still get
the same message:

"The account name and password could not be set. The virtual machine
account could not be set. The account has not been granted the requested
logon type."

My domain admin gets accepted though. But I don't want to use that one.
Unfortunately it's not a stand-alone server so I can't just make the
domain user a local admit, the server is a DC.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
