Hi,

It sounds like you're encountering a common issue when adding a Hyper-V server to System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM). Here are some steps you can take to resolve Error 413:

1. Verify Agent Files: Ensure that the agent files for version 10.22.1287.0 are indeed present on the SCVMM management server. Sometimes, the error message might not be accurate, so double-check the directory where the agent files are supposed to be located.
2. Manual Agent Installation: If the automatic installation fails, you can manually install the VMM agent on the Hyper-V host. Download the agent from the SCVMM server and run the installation manually on the Hyper-V server
3. Check Permissions: Make sure that the SCVMM server has the necessary permissions to access the agent files. Adding the SCVMM server's host name and the username used for deployment to the Administrators group on the Hyper-V host can help
4. Network Configuration: Verify that the network configuration, including firewall settings, allows the necessary communication between the SCVMM server and the Hyper-V host. Ensure that ports like TCP 443, 5985, and 5986 are open

Let me know if you need further assistance or if there's anything else I can help with!
