NOTE: For the instructions to work, authorization has to take place on Windows level. This requires identical accounts with identical passwords to be created on Veeam ONE Server and Veeam Monitor Client machines if Veeam ONE is used in a workgroup. Additionally if the registry key noted above is not listed manually create as noted or contact support for assistance.If these instructions do not help, the problem might be in security limitations of cross-domain network communications. Before running Veeam Monitor client, use the following command to pre-establish network connection between the two servers:       net use \\your_monitor_serverYou might be asked for security credentials. As a result, the network connection will be established between the Veeam Monitor Server and Veeam Monitor Client workstation.
