SYMPTOMS
After you install Virtual Server 2005, you receive the following error message when you open the Virtual Server Administration Web site:

 * 3) In the right pane, double-click Log on as a batch job. In the Log on as a batch job Properties dialog box, make sure that the LOCAL SERVICE group is in the list. If the LOCAL SERVICE group is not in the list, add the group to the list.
 * 4) In the right pane, double-click Log on as a service. In the Log on as a service Properties dialog box, make sure that the NETWORK SERVICE group is in the list. If the NETWORK SERVICE group is not in the list, add the group to the list.
