Cause

This error could happen if you have invalid path set in Placement for your host in SCVMM Server. Or if you have a drive set there without the trailing in form of “<drive>:”  (Example if you have ‘d:’ set there). As the code look for placement path as “<drive>:\”   ( ‘d:\’ in our case).

Resolution

1.       Open SCVMM Admin Console.

2.       Select Hosts

3.       Expand All Host and check Properties of your host machine listed below it

4.       In Property windows select Placement

5.       Under Placement make sure we have a valid path and if path has “<drive>:”   change it to “<drive>:\”  

6.       We need to check same for all the host.
