Azure ASR Missing Connection.PassPhrease

I just download the ASR OVA and have it registered Azure. Problem is when I try to install the agent on a VM I am missing the connection.passphrase. I have found articles online on how to get this but I checked the entire server and I do not have a genpassphrase or connction.passphrase files..

Thoughts

When I following the instructions in the link below. I do not have a ASR directory under Program Data.....

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/site-recovery/vmware-azure-manage-configuration-server

Generate configuration server Passphrase

Sign in to your configuration server, and then open a command prompt window as an administrator.

To change the directory to the bin folder, execute the command cd %ProgramData%\ASR\home\svsystems\bin

To generate the passphrase file, execute genpassphrase.exe -v > MobSvc.passphrase.

Your passphrase will be stored in the file located at %ProgramData%\ASR\home\svsystems\bin\MobSvc.passphrase.

Hello @rr-4098 Thank you for contacting us on Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to assist!

It looks like you are using the modernize appliance not the classic one and trying to follow the installation of the classic instead of the correct one.

Just follow this installation for GUI:

Or cmd line:

This should help resolve your issue. Please reply if you need help!
