    Hi
    I am trying to programmatically clone a Windows11 VM via command line on a M1 Pro MBP using this command:
    prlctl clone XXXXX-44ab-XXXXXXXX-8eee7a4f9006 --name Windows11_newname --changesid --regenerate-src-uuid --template

    The original VM is syspreped and waiting to create a user.

    I always get this result no matter what options I include or omit in the command and no matter wether I use name or ID:
    Failed to clone the VM: The operation failed. To perform this operation, you must enter the host OS administrator's credentials.

    If I clone via GUI, it works as expected.


    I am using Parallels Desktop For Mac Business Edition
    Version 18.1.0 (53311)

    Any Idea?
