Get-VBRServer : Remote connection was terminated

[genz61]

Good afternoon. I installed version 10 first, installed version 11 on top. When I try to run the powershell script, I get the following error.

Code: Select all

You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.

On another virtual machine, with the same installation scheme, everything worked.

Hi Eugene

Can you please share your entire script (C:\scripts_Veeam\Veeam_.ps1)? Not just the output?

Asnp : The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'VeeamPSSnapin' is not installed on this computer.

We deprecated PS Snapins. You can remove this part in the script. It's no longer needed.

May I ask, why you have only updated to v11? The most recent version is V12.1.1.56:

Hi Eugene,

Have you used Connect-VBRServer cmdlet to establish connection between powershell module and VBR server? The error you encountered usually indicates that the connection wasn't established (cmdlet not used) or was terminated for some reason and you need to use Connect-VBRServer to re-establish it.

Best regards,
Oleg
