Update Guest OS credentials

Post by MikaelG »

Hi,

The account used for Guest OS is currently set to password never expires. I would like to change this. Would this brake anything? If I try to restore files from a VM that was backuped using the old password?

Thanks,

Mikael

Hello Mikael,

You can change the password via Veeam B&R console, but when password becomes expired you need to update in the the console as well. Restore should work without any issues since data is already stored in the backup. Cheers!

Hi Mikael, you will be prompted for the credentials upon the restore to the original location if the ones specified in the Credentials Manager do not work.
