Hello,
I created some scripts to deploy Veeam infrastructure components.
I created three scripts (maybe I create more if I have time) that should be used as as described:
1) 1_check_host_smb_connection.ps1 - this is a prerequisite script that checks whether the hosts are available
2) 2_add_windows_host_to_managed_servers.ps1 - add Windows hosts do VBR
3) 3_add_proxy_role.ps1 - deploys proxy role
<#
.SYNOPSIS
This script tries to connect to admin$ share to a list of hosts provided by a
csv file.
.DESCRIPTION
Connection to admin$ share is required to install Veeam components. This script
checks whether it is possible to login to admin$.
Adjust $filepath_input and $filepath_output according to your needs.
The CSV file should be in the following format:
DNS-Hostname,Location
Location is optional
The script was tested on Windows Server 2012R2 with Powershell 4.0
