Until you try. After endless test runs and experiments using different versions I have finally reached a point where I need to Validate setting before the final Cutover. Now I get for the 1st item.

"We can connect to the source computer using a local user account. Fail: Access Denied!

The rest are all Pass

I have tried.

Turned off the Firewalls.

New user with all required permissions.

What am I missing? Same credentials successfully completed the file transfer with only 10 files failed.

I don't see any errors in the event viewers on both servers. Both Servers are VMs on Hyper-V. new is 2022 old is 2019.
