Feature Request - Automaticall connect to VBR server

[Cragdoo]

Would be a nice touch if when launching the powershell console from the VBR console, if the resulting powershell session was already connected to the VBR server the session was launched for.

E.g. I open VBR console on SERVER1, click on 'Console'>'PowerShell' the session automatically runs "Connect-VBRServer -Server SERVER1" and I'm ready to go


Also ...any news on converting the PSSNAPIN to a module on the PowerShell Gallery?

By default PS establishes connection to local backup server (Connect-VBRServer "local"), the behaviour should be the same regardless of how you connect to backup server (either locally or remotely).

Are you saying that you see different behaviour in your environment?

Thanks.

yeah, I connect to my VBR server using remote console, open the console , run say a GET-VBRJob, I see

Code: Select all

Get-VBRJob : Failed to connect to Veeam Backup & Replication server:

Aah but you're saying it runs a Connect-VBRserver "local" when it really should be Connect-VBRserver "<vbrserver>" ??

I've clarified the situation a bit - indeed, currently you need to specify the server address explicitly while working with PowerShell on remote machine. We' ll think how that can be bypassed down the road. Thanks.
