Resolve the Host Issue and Then Try the Operation Again

While installing Organisation Center Virtual Machine Director 2022 Agent on Windows Server 2022 Core edition, I encountered the following mistake:

Error (415)
Agent installation failed copying 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Organisation Center 2016\Virtual Machine Manager\agents\I386\4.0.2051.0\msiInstaller.exe' to '\\NINJA-S2D-HV02.VIRT.LAB\ADMIN$\msiInstaller.exe'.
The network path was not found

Recommended Activity
one. Ensure 'NINJA-S2D-HV02.VIRT.LAB' is online and not blocked past a firewall.
two. Ensure that file and printer sharing is enabled on 'NINJA-S2D-HV02.VIRT.LAB' and it not blocked by a firewall.
3. Ensure that WMI is enabled on 'NINJA-S2D-HV02.VIRT.LAB' and it is not blocked by firewall.
4. Ensure that in that location is sufficient free space on the system book.
five. Verify that the ADMIN$ share on 'NINJA-S2D-HV02.VIRT.LAB' exists. If the ADMIN$ share does not exist, restart 'NINJA-S2D-HV02.VIRT.LAB' and then try the performance again.

Alert (10444)
The VMM management server was unable to impersonate the supplied credentials.

Recommended Activity
To add a host in a disjointed domain namespace, ensure that the credentials are valid and of a domain account. In addition, the SCVMMService must run equally the local system account or a domain business relationship with sufficient privileges to be able to impersonate other users.

Permit's go through the recommended deportment 1 by one and see how can we resolve this consequence:

1. Ensure 'HOST A' is online and not blocked past a firewall

Point number 1 is non applicative in our example, the host is online and not blocked past any firewall. The host is reachable from the VMM server.

2. Ensure that file and printer sharing is enabled on 'HOST A' and information technology is not blocked past a firewall

We tin quickly identify file and print sharing rule by running the following PowerShell command from the VMM server:

$HV = 'HOST-A' $Session = New-PSSession –ComputerName $HV -Credential 'Domain\User' Invoke-Command -Session $Session -ScriptBlock { Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName 'File and Printer Sharing (Echo Asking - ICMPv4-In)' | Select DisplayName, Contour, Enabled, Action }

As you can encounter, the "file and printer sharing" dominion is not enabled for Domain and Individual contour, yet, it's enabled for Public profile.

We tin can enable the firewall dominion for the Domain profile by running the following command:

# Prepare File and Print Sharing Firewall  Invoke-Command -Session $Session -ScriptBlock {  Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName 'File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In)' -Profile Domain -Enabled True -Management Inbound -Activeness Allow  Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName 'File and Printer Sharing (Echo Asking - ICMPv6-In)' -Profile Domain -Enabled Truthful -Direction Inbound -Action Allow  }

Notwithstanding, trying to install the Agent again but receiving the aforementioned error!

3. Ensure that WMI is enabled on 'HOST A' and information technology is not blocked by firewall

We can rapidly check if  Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is enabled or not by running the following PowerShell command:

# Bank check WMI Firewall Invoke-Command -Session $Session -ScriptBlock { Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName 'Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI-In)' | Select DisplayName, Profile, Enabled, Action }        

Every bit you can see, the "WMI" firewall rule is not enabled. We can enable it by running the following command:

# Prepare WMI Firewall Invoke-Control -Session $Session -ScriptBlock { Prepare-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName 'Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI-In)' -Contour Domain -Enabled Truthful -Direction Entering -Action Allow }

Trying to install the Agent once more simply receiving the same error as well!

4. Ensure that there is sufficient free infinite on the organization volume

Sure, nosotros have enough free space on the System volume, we tin can quickly check this past running the post-obit command:

# Check Organisation Volume Free Space Invoke-Command -Session $Session -ScriptBlock { Go-Book | Where-Object {$_.DriveLetter -eq "C"} | Select DriveLetter, @{ Expression = { $_.Size/1GB }; Characterization = "Size (GB)" }, @{ Expression = { $_.SizeRemaining/1GB }; Label = "SizeRemaining (GB)" } }        

5. Verify that the ADMIN$ share on 'HOST A' exists. If the ADMIN$ share does not exist, restart 'HOST A' and so try the operation again

A quick check, yous can verify this by browsing the hidden ADMIN$ share from the VMM server, open up Run and type the following command:

\HOST-A\ADMIN$

As you tin see, we could not able to browse the hidden ADMIN share. VMM use this share to button the agent to the target host.

What could exist reason and then?

I will add indicate 6 to the to a higher place action list and see how can we resolve this issue.

6. Verify that File Server office is installed and then effort the operation again

Nosotros can verify if the File Server office is installed on Server Core by running the command:

# Check File Server Role Invoke-Command -Session $Session -ScriptBlock { Go-WindowsFeature -Proper name "*FS*" }        

Equally y'all can see, the file server role is Not installed by default on Server Cadre compare to Full Server. To install the function through PowerShell Remoting, you can run the following command:

# Install File Server Role Invoke-Control -Session $Session -ScriptBlock { Install-WindowsFeature -Name FS-FileServer -Verbose Remove-WindowsFeature  -Name FS-SMB1       -Verbose Restart-Computer }        

Information technology's besides worth mentioning to remove and uninstall SMB Version ane.0 too. The original SMB1 protocol is nearly 30 years old, and like much of the software fabricated in the eighty'southward, information technology was designed for a globe that no longer exists! The command above will install File Server role and uninstall SMB1 for you.

That's all there is to it. This stock-still the upshot and enabled SCVMM 2022 to push its agents to Server Cadre 2016.

Hope that helps!
