Cannot register the mobility agent with the replication appliance - Migrate physical server to Azure

[vinhtung]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to migrate a physical machine to Azure using Azure Migrate by following this doc: 

Migrate machines as physical server to Azure with Azure Migrate. - Azure Migrate | Microsoft Docs

I am doing the Install the Mobility service step. Specifically, I am at Register the agent with the replication appliance step when I am installing the mobility agent on my machine using Windows.

I run the command : 

UnifiedAgentConfigurator.exe /CSEndPoint <replication appliance IP address> /PassphraseFilePath <Passphrase File Path>

I got the result: 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Azure Site Recovery Provider>UnifiedAgentConfigurator.exe /CSEndPoint 10.0.0.143 /PassphraseFilePath C:\key\connection.passphrase
Starting silent configuration.
Running configuration for VmWare
Starting registration for VmWare platform
CS endpoint for registration - 10.0.0.143
Passphrase file for registration - C:\key\connection.passphrase (or C:\key\passphrase.txt)
Preparing for registration
Invalid configuration server IP or connection passphrase provided.

My server IP address and my passphrase are correct but I cannot finish my registration. Either I put the passphrase on a txt file or passphrase file, it was still wrong. Please help me solve this problem if you know it.

Thanks and best regards,

Alex

Make sure there aren't any whitespaces or freelines in the file.

Moving passphrase file to agent install directory resolved the problem for me.
E.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Azure Site Recovery\agent\pass.txt"
