IS2011 Standalone Build Fails to Install

We are trying to install the IS2011 Standalone Build on a 64bit Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 system and fails and rolls back. This issue is specific to a couple of our build machines only. The SAB installs successfully on our other systems with the same operating system.

As far as I can tell by looking at the log file it looks like it is failing when trying to run ISXmlInstall Action. Here is a snippet of the logfile where I suspect the problem lies:


Action 16:31:02: ISXmlInstall.

Does anyone have a clue what is happening here?

FWIW...
We have discovered that we can install SAB on the system when we connect to the server using "mstsc /admin /v:". When it fails we are connected using rdp.

Not sure why using mstsc works and rdp does not, but we are all set now.
