KB ID: 44
Issue:
Instant boot encounters a failure with the error message "Failed to create VM," accompanied by "The application encountered an error while attempting to change the state of VMMachineName." This problem arises when BDRSuite is not running with administrator privileges.
Solution:
To resolve the issue, ensure that the BDRSuite Backup Server is running with administrator privileges in services. This adjustment will allow for successful instant boot operations without encountering the "Failed to create VM" error.
