In windows 2008 there is a security feature that allows you to run elevated administration if you want to start some programs; it's the case for MS virtual machine manager for example: this program will let you get connected to the virtual host but you won't be able to access the virtual machine with an error message "cannot connect to this machine". It's rather annoying since this security features on lots of programs, and can literally waste your day trying to troubleshoot the issue. So here is how to remove this security feature:
1) type secpol.msc and it will bring up the security policy snapin.
2) Go to local security tab, double click local policies then go to security options. Double click user account control: run all administrators in administrator approval and set it to DISABLED, then reboot the machine.
There is a description of elevated priviledges and UAC here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc709691(WS.10).aspx
