Powershell snapin for V8 not working

Post by bgalante »

Hi,

I just installed the powershell snap-in on my Veeam B&R environment.

When I am in the B&R application console, I click on the powershell icon in the menu, and it gives this error:

Code: Select all

Add-PSSnapin : No snap-ins have been registered for windows powershell version 4.
At C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Backup\Initialize-VeeamToolKit.ps1:137 char:1
And none of the commands work.

Does anyone have experience with this issue?

Have you tried already to reinstall PS snap-in?

What happens if you try to load the snap-in outside of VB&R GUI? Just open a PS console, and try to add the snap-in, using "Asnp VeeamPSSnapin" code.

If you get something like "VeeamPSSnapIn not found", take a look at the solution provided in this thread. Also, this thread might be useful.

Thanks.

Yep, re-applying the latest update seems to be the most common solution for the issue described.

Thank you for confirming that it's helped you, as well; appreciated.

I had this same issue, no amount of re-installing/re-patching worked for me. I had to set the registry key manually.

Put this in a text file and rename it to VeeamPSSFix.reg

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellSnapIns\VeeamPSSnapIn]
"PowerShellVersion"="2.0"
"Vendor"="Veeam"
"Description"="This is a PowerShell snap-in that includes the Veeam's cmdlet."
"VendorIndirect"="VeeamPSSnapIn, Veeam"
"DescriptionIndirect"="VeeamPSSnapIn,This is a PowerShell snap-in that includes the Veeam's cmdlet."
"Version"="8.0.0.0"
"ApplicationBase"="C:\\Program Files\\Veeam\\Backup and Replication\\Backup"
"AssemblyName"="Veeam.Backup.PowerShell, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=bfd684de2276783a"
"ModuleName"="C:\\Program Files\\Veeam\\Backup and Replication\\Backup\\Veeam.Backup.PowerShell.dll"

Could you add a step by step? Is rebooting necessary?
