XP - "Unable to log you on because the netlogon service is not running on this machine."

[ThePimento]

I was running Fusion 3 on my previous iMac at work. I got a new iMac, and used a Time Machine backup to transfer all my files over. I purchased Fusion 4 and upgraded. I had a few issues getting XP to even start (I had the locked file issue), but I took care of that and now I can finally get XP to boot up.

My problem now is when I try to sign on to our domain, I get:

"Unable to log you on because the netlogon service is not running on this machine."

I've looked at some other topics, but they're a few years old. I can boot into Safe Mode (with command prompt), BUT it requires me to log in, which I cannot do. I've tried logging in to the local account, but with no luck ("The system cannot log you on now because the domain xxxxx is not available.").

Any ideas?

These really not a VMware issues per se, they're Windows issues and need to be dealt with just like one would with any physical machine running Windows.  So, industry standard diagnostic/troubleshooting methods/methodologies apply and you'd probably be better off searching Microsoft directly or Google.
