Question : Can't get Thumbnails to Work Outside of the Domain

I have a Windows 2008R2 Server running Hyper-V, Joined to the ACME Domain.   I have System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008R2 also installed, running in the ACME domain.  When a user access the self-service web page from a computer that is outside the domain, I get this error:

First Error

Then when I type a valid set of ACME domain credentials, I get a certificate error:

Certificate Error

And when I click "OK" to ignore the certficate error, the final state of the thumbnail is this:

Has anyone out there gotten thumbnails to work from computers that are outside of the domain in which SCVMM and the Host exist?  Do I just need to get a public certificate?  Please help, this is annoying the heck out of me.

Thanks

First Error

Answer : Can't get Thumbnails to Work Outside of the Domain

Your getting the first error because windows first tries the logged on user credentials. This known as pass-through authentication, if this fails you are prompted for user credentials.
To over come this u need to create identical users  (for example: djohn) on both SCVMM server (local user, not domain user and doesn't have to be administrator) and the client machine. Password also have be exact same.

Have you tried installing the certificate to a user and tested if you can bypass this ?

The third error normally occurs, when you try to open a VM which open somewhere else. Is that the case here?
