    Kamalakar Kamsani kind of late reply here but hopefully it will someone because I have had this issue a couple of times with my machines.

    If you get this error when enabling replication:

    • Error ID
      151066
    • Error Message
      Site recovery configuration failed.
    • Possible causes
      The required trusted root certificates used for authorization and authentication are not present on the machine.

    Link provided to help you is useless so here's the solution:


    Actual Cause: 

    Missing Digicert root certificate.  Updating windows updates won't help sometimes neither with it.

     

    Solution:

    Run this command to verify if you have the root certs installed on the server:

    & "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Azure Site Recovery\agent\AzureRcmCli" --validaterootcert

     

    If you get the above error, get the missing certs from the link below:

    https://www.digicert.com/kb/digicert-root-certificates.htm

    Download .pem files from the above link and import the certs on the server under "trust root certificate authorities" using certmgr

     

    Try to enable replication again.  It should work.
