See "Setting credentials on Windows 2008 Server Core or Windows 2008 Server R2 Core" on page 25. Authenticating management groups Authenticating management groups on the SAN is the first step for using the VSS Provider. You authenticate management groups by setting credentials for them in the Authentication Console. This authentication is normally a one-time process.
