Cannot collect metrics about the guest's operation system. Cannot open sessions
manager's registry key. Win32 error:Access is denied.
Cause
Typically this is simply meaning that the remote registry service is not running on the source guest virtual machine, or it is inaccessible due to firewall restriction.
Solution
Configure the following permissions on the registry key below:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers\winreg"
Permissions:
"Administrators" - "Full Control"
