How to install Windows 11 24H on vCenter 8.03 Essentials?

[peter schmitt]

I wanto to install Win 11 latest version on vCenter 8.03 after one day with GPT I was able to backup the Key (insane complicated! trhough SSH) and now I am still not able to use TPM in the VM settings: 

The operation is not supported on the object. Cannot enable host encryption for host 192.168.2.5 Key provider NativeKey not found.

Even on new Machines same error. 

In vCenter is active:

vTPM (default) Native Active

So what else can I do?

You're almost there! That error usually means the Native Key Provider (NKP) isn’t trusted yet — even if it shows as active.

Try this:

1. Go to vCenter > Key Providers.

2. Click your Native Key Provider.

3. If it says "Trusted: No", click "Make Trusted".

Once trusted, you should be able to add vTPM to your VM without that error.

Also make sure:

• Your ESXi host is part of a cluster.

It's licensed for encryption.
