I am trying to debug a virtual machine (VM) running on a remote computer from my workstation (A). Both VM and A are running Windows 7 Enterprise.

Apparently, I need to start the Remote Debugger Service (RDS) on VM as an administrator.

Apparently, I also need to run RDS as the user Tewr logged in on A (domain: DOM).

VM runs the services i need to debug, as well as the remote desktop interface with an account VMUSER in a domain called VMDOMAIN.

I manage to start RDS as administrator, but then the RDS process is owned by VMUSER and that's not good enough. I also manage to run RDS as DOM\Tewr, but then not as an administrator. I have Added DOM\Tewr as an administrator on VM, but thats not good enough becuase the process is still not run as administrator.

How can I run the RDS process as DOM\Tewr and "As Administrator", while logged on in windows as VMDOMAIN\VM?

(note: I have tried creating an account with the same credentials / password as VMUSER, as hinted in the ms article above, but with no luck...)
