Recorded webtest fails to run
I am able to record and create a webtest that goes to one site (in this case google.com) . When I try to run it I get the following error msg:
Request failed: Exception in PreRequest event: The hidden field group name is invalid.
For other webtest I get the following error when I attempt to run them:
Request failed: Unable to connect to remote server.
Recording the webtests works fine and IE if fine on its own. Any ideas

There's a unexpected bug in the WebTest recorder, where if you specify a proxy in your Internet Explorer, even if you have the proxy disabled ("Use proxy server for your LAN" is OFF), the generated WebTest script will have your proxy settings in there.
Thus, when you try to run that webtest script, if it can't connect to that proxy (which was disabled in IE), it will fail.

I recently fixed this bug, so it should be working much better in the next CTP release. The proxy server name will no longer be hard-coded into the web test. For now, if you're testing local sites, just clear the Proxy property on the web test node in the editor.
