Pre/Post Script Failure

Case # 01814926
Case # 02035892

We have two Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V hosts. One of the backup jobs seems to be causing the Virtual Machine Management Service (VMMS) to fail which causes the job to fail. Neither Microsoft nor Veeam support have been able to help.

I have tried the following pre job script:

c:\users\emco\downloads\RestartVMMS.bat

@ECHO OFF
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe "C:\Users\emco\Downloads\RestartVMS.ps1"
TIMEOUT /20

This is the PowerShell script called above:

Get-Service -Name VMMS -ComputerName Hyper-V1 | Restart-Service
Get-Service -Name VMMS -ComputerName Hyper-V2 | Restart-Service

Running the script from the command line from the backup server works. The backup job says the pre job script was successful but VMMS is still in a failed state and the job fails.

Veeam support sent me here. Any suggestions?

Hi Michael, dos the script work if you try to run it under Veeam service account?

I succeeds with the credentials that the backup jobs runs with if that is what you mean.
