    We're not "enabling the web console".  We're enabling a web service.  Once the APIs are published and functionality is released that can use them, you'll find ways documented to make use of the service over the next several release cycles.  The account settings and service settings are being enforced in this release so that things are prepared and ready when a piece of functionality requiring them 'just works'.  It's a phased approach.

Yes, verified the web svc is enabled. The HTTP 401 error indicates that the NetBackup Web Services are enabled.

Please tell us more about your environment and where exactly did you install and configure what...

Maybe I am missing something, but I am not aware of any WMC other than the NetBackup Web Services that must be enabled/configured to work with the plugin installed on the Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) console to recover virtual machines from NBU.

If I look at this manual: 
NetBackup 7.7 Add-in for Microsoft SCVMM Console Guide
I see a diagram on page 9: NetBackup and SCVMM environment with NetBackup add-in

Can you share a diagram of what your environment looks like?
And tell us if the NetBackup add-in was successfully installed on the SCVMM console?

Or are you referring to something other than SCVMM with NBU add-in?

    It is as simple as a master/media/client all in one in my test environement. I just want to see what the new Web Management Console can do since it is enabled by default now from 8.0. 

    Sigh, I suspect WMC is still far from ready yet.

      NetBackup does not have a WMC.
      The steps that you have followed is to enable SCVMM (as per the documentation that I have shared).

      NBU 7.7 and above is managed via Java Console.

        YK please help us to understand why you believe that NBU has a WMC.
        (Other than the WMC service that enables add-in for SCVMM.)

        Please share the documentation that you are using.
