Troubleshoot Windows Authentication Problems During Physical Machine Virtualization

User authentication fails when the Virtualize a Physical Machine wizard attempts to connect a Windows physical machine.

Problem

After you provide user credentials for the physical machine, the Virtualize a Physical Machine wizard reports that your user credentials are incorrect or you have insufficient permissions to connect to the physical machine.

Cause

Simple file sharing or User Account Control (UAC) is enabled on the physical machine.

Solution

Perform the steps in Prepare a Windows Physical Machine for Virtualization and rerun the Virtualize a Physical Machine wizard.
