Good idea.  I only became aware of the VM1_USER trick through a
conversation with Colin in regards to the same permissions problem
Oliver was experiencing.

might I suggest an entry in 

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.7/6_2Microsoft_Windows.html

concerning how to go about using a domain based rather than local user
(along with comments reflecting issues with SMP and execute login is
dedicated and how to work round it with multiple users)

Questions such as 
How do you store the credentials? 
What access rights should the domain user have on the local machine?
What versions this is possible from?
Security considerations? (moot point given that this will almost
certainly be used in the context of a closed fully trusted environment
but worth noting)
What happens if the domain controller hiccups/timesout etc etc...
