Author Virtual Server 2005 iso access

What sort of login does Virtual Server 2005 use to access a network drive.
I have some ISO images on a different computer. I set the folder that the
iso's on to share. Everyone is allowed to read. Whenever I try select an ISO
on that computer, Virtual Server says that Access is Denied to that folder...
The Login "Everyone" has "Read" access. (no difference if "Full Control" is
selected...
Any ideas?

Thanks!

By default, the Virtual Server service (like most services) installs to run
under the LocalSystem account, which does not have access to ANY network
shares, regardless of permissions on those shares. You would need to
configure the service to run under a domain user account. Of course, it will
still need the necessary rights on the local system to run as a service and
access the local resources that Virtual Server needs. Assuming your Virtual
Server host machine is a test machine (because that's all you should be
running an MSDN-licensed copy on), then you're probably not worried about
granularity of security on this machine; therefore, the simplest thing to do
is use a domain user account which you've added to the local Administrators
group of the host machine.
