...not only did I list VMware's compatible products for you, I gave you a link for how you can manually disable the Vista security features to run the incompatible server version of VMware if you so choose.

All of which I did in the first two hours I worked there. You can't change bureaucracy in one day, dude. I have found a work-around, but it's inconvenient, so I'm looking for the actual solution.

The solution is use a compatible product. Even VMware doesn’t support the configuration you’re trying to run.
