You need to look at the configuration file SonarQube.Analysis.xml. Confirm that the property sonar.host.url is correct and you have configured a valid sonar.login and sonar.password. The user you specified must be able to execute analysis. Open the SonarQube portal as admin and activate Administration - Security - Global Permissions. The user must be specified in Execute Analysis or must be a member of a group specified in Execute Analysis. Provide more details if this does not help
