Hi
Welcome to the Community. Have you added your HV servers to the VBR hosts file? Also, make sure when adding, use the LOCALHOST\username format. Sometimes, updating the HV host, rebooting, then reattempting to add works.
Try those few things & let us know how it goes.

We discussed this issue at length in a previous post here on the Community Hub. I provided several other post links as well. The author of the below post shared what worked for him (DECOM security issue with Windows 2022, if you’re using that). You can go through the handful of suggestions there and see if any work for you:

Hi
Is KB5005102 installed? I believe it's an 'out of band' update to where you have to download it manually from the Catalog.
And, if you do have it, have you looked at all the other suggestions I provided above? You also should make sure UAC is disabled and verify Windows firewall is off, or proper rules set.
Let us know.

UAC only needs to be disabled if a new administrator account is created. Else, he only needs to apply windows updates both on the HyperV and VBR server. Else, he might be missing other prerequisites which i have documented in that link above

Hello,
I have the same problem on a client using Veeam 11 community,
Veeam on Windows 2008 R2 and Hyper-V on a 2022 server.
After installing KB5025230 on w2022 we were left without access.
However, I can no longer remove this KB in w2022. Any solution?
Hello
UAC donesn t need to be disabled.
You just need to create localaccounttokenfilterpolicy registry key.
Userlevel 2
hello,
I added the key to my hyper-v server, restarted it, but the problem continues.
remembering that my Veeam server is w2008 R2. I didn't find any KB that fixes the problem as reported.
If you are seeing DCOM errors on VBR or HyperV Server then the issue is related to DCOM.
Please refer https://www.veeam.com/kb4376

hello,
thank's for your time.
Yes, I'm going to have a huge problem, considering that I didn't find any update for server 2008R2. I'm already using a higher version of Veeam, VR11.
My DCOM log:
192.168.10.50 is my Veeam Backup
The server-side authentication level policy does not allow the server\xyz SID (S-1-5-21-612518617-895926409-3094583133-500) from address 192.168.10.50 to activate the DCOM server. Increase the activation authentication level to at least RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_PKT_INTEGRITY in the application.
thanks,
You can take a backup of registry and add the below Dword32 values on VBR and HyperV Servers. You need to reboot the servers after the changes.
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WBEM\CIMOM
Reg: AllowAnonymousCallback
Value: 1
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole\AppCompat
Key: RequireIntegrityActivationAuthenticationLevel
Value: 0
Let me know if it works.
Additionally also test your WBEM Test by following the attached document

hello,
I did the process informed, but it didn't work, the DCOM log remains the same.
From what I understand, I have to raise DCOM on my Veeam server, after the final update Microsoft no longer allows changes to the records.
The problem is that I didn't find any KB update for server 2008R2, what they offer is only for w2019, 2016, W11 and W10
:(
At the moment I can only suggest the below.
1.Upgrade to the supported OS version and apply latest windows updates
2.Remove the Windows Updates which broke the things
3.https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/5370249/Dealing-with-DCOM-Hardening-Part-1
4.Perform WBEMTEST from VBR to HyperV Host and vice versa.
If WBEMTEST passes then you are good to go.

Hello,
you can try this recipe.
It’s two years old so I can’t confirm if it’s still working, but…well…it’s a 2008 server and we’re in 2024!!!
good luck

No momento, só posso sugerir o abaixo.
1.Atualize para a versão do sistema operacional suportado e aplique as atualizações mais recentes do Windows
2.Remova as atualizações do Windows que quebrou as coisas
3.https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/5370249/Dealing-with-DCOM-Hardening-Part-1
4.Execute WBEMTEST do VBR para o Host HyperV e vice-versa.
Se o WBEMTEST passar, então você está pronto para ir.
Thank you very much, option 3 was the solution.
We were able to install the 4 KB updates successfully and disable the Windows modules installer before restarting the PC.

The video below deals with the same subject as your article 3. :)
Glad that the issue is solved now. Best of luck :-)
