This may mean you need to use “net use” to map it so you can specify a different username. Do this from the Backup & Replication main backup server itself by browsing to \\COMPUTERNAME\\Admin$ using the credentials you’re going to use for Veeam.

First, try specifying the username as the full “DOMAIN\Username” format when you add it to the Backup & Replication console.You might want to consider taking a snapshot before this work, so when you discover what fixes the problem you can revert the snapshot and just implement the fix cleanly.

There are also ways to manually install the Veeam Transport Service that might be more helpful. I’d get it running with as close to a stock Windows installation as possible and then work from there if you need to secure things further.


If you’re using a hardened Windows installation all bets are off, since the goal of hardening is to intentionally disrupt remote access. This is what worked for me on Windows Server 2016 when I was getting error 0x00000057, “Failed to create persistent connection to ADMIN$” and some other unhelpful messages. If you’re like me and seeing proxy install errors maybe some of these will fix you up. Every once in a while I struggle a little to add a new Veeam Backup & Replication hot-add proxy.
