Have you looked at the log to see what the specific error is? just go to the same URL as horizonadmin but go to :3443/log.

Also any firewall?

And sounds cliche but have you tried rebooting the OVA?

I realized I didn't have the server where the share was, in DNS so I've added it and it's still not working and the share has Everyone Full Control

Hi,

the solution was the remove the domain\ in the AD authentication and just put the username itself, once i did it, it started working..
