I have successfully deployed newest VDP appliance 5.8. It all works well. I can successfully manage vdp through Vcenter. All backup jobs are performed successfully.
The only problem we have is with FLR client login from Windows machines.. We are able to log in with local "Administrator" account but not with other local admin accounts.
I have created local account named vdp. Added this account to local administrators group. I was able to login to the workstation and have full admin privileges. I even removed the user from "users" group so it only belongs to "administrators" group on server. Basically it is all the same as Administrator account except the name.
Like I said before. I am able to log in to FLR client with local Administrator account credentials but we wanted to use another account if possible.

Logs states that user is not in local administrator group but it for 100% is as I have already checked that.
It's good to know that it is not only me experiencing this problem. I guess that this might be kind of bug - Looking for Administrator username instead of Administrators group. But someone from Vmware should speak. I also reported my problem to the support. They're investigating it. I will get back.
