NLB Access denied on local admin account.

I have configured NLB on 2 servers using the local administrator account and everything works fine.
I have created another user and made it a member of the local administrators group but when this account is used, NLB does not show the 2nd server in the cluster, only itself. Error message is displayed at the bottom saying "Access denied. Error connection to SERV02"

Logged in as administrator I can see both servers in the cluster.
Any one have any suggestions?

    Hi,

    is the user meber of the local admin group on only one node or both of them?

    Please check this one:
