Tester en local avec IE6 IE7 IE8 IE9…

Thanks for the response, however, I have literally just managed to correct this issue, and thought I would share my resolution with everyone on here.

To change the username that the host machine sends the VM when it starts up, I found out where windows stores this information, so I could edit it.

In the VM’s setting’s (right click on VM, the click settings) this will show the various settings that you can change, and will also show you what credentials are stored against the VM.

To change these, you need to navigate to Credentials Manager. Go to control panel on the host, and search for credentials manager. Under ‘Generic Credentials’ you will find the credentials that are stored for the VM’s on your box (if you have stored any credentials).

Drop the arrow down to expand the relevant VM details, and then click on edit to change any of these fields.

In my case, I just had to change the Username to Administrator, and the VM will now automatically logon.

I can now login automatically, and now get all the IE’s up and running.

Thanks again for the informative article.

Nice article. I am having one slight issue though. When it comes to logging in, I followed the install steps, and got my second version of xp up and running, however when I enabled integration features, I got a host machine logon box, asking for login credentials. I tried providing the credentials in the form of:

Administrator
‘Password’

XP_IE7\Administrator
‘Password’

XP_IE7/Administrator
‘Password’

Each time I get an XP’s login box rejecting the credentials and I know why – because the Windows 7 login box prepends the host machine’s domain (which is just my computer name) to the username, and this fails. I then have to remove both the domain, and XP_IE7 from the username within tthe XP login box (leaving just Administrator as the username), and it logs in fine.

I don’t have this problem with the original XP mode VM, as this has the correct saved credentials. i just want to be in a situation where the VM will start and log in automatically particularly as I would like to run multiple IE’s for browser testing simultaneously without having to login to each VM every time.

Any suggestions as to how to fix this would be awesome.

Cheers,

Alex.
