I kept having errors adding hosts to a VMM server, even though all of the prereqs were met. <\/p>\n
I received the following errors every time I tried to add the hosts:<\/p>\n
\nError (415)
Agent installation failed copying C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft System Center 2012\\Virtual Machine Manager\\agents\\I386\\3.1.6011.0\\msiInstaller.exe to \\\\<hostname>\\ADMIN$\\msiInstaller.exe.
The specified network name is no longer available <\/p>\nRecommended Action
1. Ensure <Hostname.FQDN> is online and not blocked by a firewall.
2. Ensure that file and printer sharing is enabled on <Hostname.FQDN> and it not blocked by a firewall.
3. Ensure that there is sufficient free space on the system volume.
4. Verify that the ADMIN$ share on <Hostname.FQDN>exists. If the ADMIN$ share does not exist, reboot <Hostname.FQDN> and then try the operation again. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/font><\/p>\n
\nWarning (10444)
The VMM management server was unable to impersonate the supplied credentials. <\/p>\nRecommended Action
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 as the local system account or a domain account with sufficient privileges to be able to impersonate other users. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nThis took me much longer than the 5 minutes it should have taken to figure out. <\/p>\n
Basically, we have two links to the remote hosts. Traffic to that remote site is routed differently depending on the which subnet it is on. Also, we have a VLAN that is specifically set for switch management. Once I moved the VMM server to a VLAN that was NOT restricted, the hosts added just fine.<\/p>\n
If that isn\u2019t your issue, but you get the Error (415) above, there is a knowledge base article that says you may have to enable the fileserver role first on a 2012 host.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
