I have setup a new server on our network. Connected to domain, network, hyper-v installed and I am unable to add this server to the Virtual Infrastructure > Microsoft Hyper-V > Standalone Hosts > (server). I have my Veeam server trying to contact our new server and there seems to be a road block. I am running Veeam V11a trying to setup a new 2019 windows server. During the hyper-v setup process I have added the name and/or IP address, I have selected the last option (standalone) which matches the description of the new server. My credentials do work because I ran a test to setup a VM running server 2019 and I was able to set that up right away. For some reason the physical server is blocking the Veeam connection. Is there a firewall exception I need to add? I did attempt to manually add the physical server to Veeam so the agent might create its own firewall exceptions. I was unsuccessful at that as well.
Solved
Network path not found, or invalid credentials supplied

Hi
I would open the windows firewall on the hyperv, connect the hyperv to veeam and close the firewall again after successfull configuration.
For veeam Agent, that always works for me. The necessary ports are open after the agent installation and enabled windows firewall. Could work for HyperV too.
You can find more about the required ports on this page for manual configuration:

For the credentials, please make sure to use the following format:
DOMAIN\USERNAME
