That is likely either a firewall issue blocking SMB access to the server, or an inability to access the ADMIN$ share on the server. Is the server domain joined?

@it manager You can use Veeam backup and replication PowerShell Tool to ensure the requirements ports are opened.

Test-NetConnection -computername <hostname\ip> -port <port_number>
