I'm probably doing something wrong, or havn't done something, but I've just created a new Server 2016 Hyper-V Host and when I try to back up the VMs on this I'm getting this error:
3/05/2018 1:32:22 p.m. :: Failed to finalize guest processing. Details: Failed to connect to guest agent. Errors:
'Cannot connect to the host's administrative share. Host: [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]. Account: [HyperVHostName\administrator].
Win32 error:The user name or password is incorrect.
Code: 1326
I know for a fact that the username and password IS correct, but it still won't connect. The ADMIN$ share works fine if I access it through Windows Explorer. I see the same issue occurs with VeeamONE.

Ah! I know what has happened! The Host has an Administrator password that is different for the individual VMs. I've just updated the VMs from "default" under Guest Processing > Credentials > Set User.
