Symptoms
Backup or another activity with a VMware ESXi VM fails with the following error:
SOAP 1.1 fault "":ServerFaultCode[no subcode]
"Failed to authenticate with the guest operating system using the supplied credentials"
Symptoms
You have a virtual host with VMs, and licenses for Virtual Host workload (such license can be used to back up 1 Hypervisor Host Server and up to an unlimited number of virtual machines that are residing on the Hypervisor Host Server).
When you check the details of host and VMs with applied plans, license assignment is correct.
However, if you look under Settings -> License usage, one or more of Virtual Host licenses are assigned to VMs without Agent, or the licenses are shown as "not assigned".
Symptoms
You are backing up a VM with Active Directory; application-aware backup is enabled. A new dedicated domain administrator account was created on the VM specifically for application backup with Acronis Cyber Protect (see Required user rights).
Backup plan completes with a warning message:
The credentials are incorrect.
