I am working on troubleshooting an issue I am experiencing with our SCVMM 2012 R2 deployment.
I am working on deploying App Controller and this is how I discovered the following issue. When installing the VMM Console on the App Controller server, I went to go validate connectivity and that the SCVMM remote console can log in. At first it would not log in when specifying "Use current Microsoft Windows session identity" or when I would specifyDomain\Username . I would receive a Error ID code of 1604.
The only way I can log in via a remote console is when I only specify Username and do NOT prefix the domain name.
Go further with App Controller, it cannot iniatate a connection to the SCVMM Management Host and has these errors:
Category: CriticalDescription: Connection attempt to the target system failed.
Details: Category: Critical
Message: 1604–ConnectServerAuthenticationFailed
Description: You cannot access VMM management server simscvmm.simdomain.com.
Details: Category: Critical
Message: System.ServiceModel.Security.SecurityNegotiationException

Category: Critical
Message: System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException
Description: A call to SSPI failed, see inner exception.
Category: Critical
Message: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception
Description: The target principal name is incorrect
I suspect App Controller is trying to connect to SCVMM with Domain\Username and is failing.
I am not sure if this is a SPN registration issue or something else?
