Get Proxy date-time

[vitalii.fesh]

We are developing a script to retrieve information about the proxy and ensure that their date and time are synced with the VBR. I'm looking into the possibility of accomplishing this using the Veeam PowerShell module. Optionally, it might be retrieving the time server settings of the proxy for verification.

Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Vitalli

I don't think we have such a method in the PowerShell module. I can't see it in the official cmdlets.
Have you considered to use Get-Date?

Probably the challenge is to have the command run at the same exact moment on all proxies to have an accurate output.
One proxy may run the command a few seconds later which already makes the verification difficult.

Best,
Fabian

Hi Vitalii,

We don't keep info on managed servers' datetimes in VBR database. You'd have to use either powershell remoting or wmi cmdlets to get it on a remote server.

Best regards,
Oleg

Thank you, everyone. I will proceed with the regular method.

Regarding the Veeam version on Proxies, is it possible to retrieve this information using the PowerShell module?

I discovered a method to get all components, but I couldn't find a way to obtain a general version. Here’s what I have so far:

$proxyHost = $proxy.Server.GetPhysicalHost()
$proxyHost.GetComponents()

Hi Vitalii,

A proxy in this case is best understood as the collection of the Veeam Components installed (transport, deployment, etc) installed on it rather than some specific single binary version. So you will check the version on those Components returned by GetComponents().

Thank you for answering, David.

I ended up with this code below, which seeks the latest component version and parses it:

$proxyHost = $proxy.Server.GetPhysicalHost()
$ProxyComponents = $proxyHost.GetComponents()
$ProxyVersionRaw = $ProxyComponents | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Version | Sort-Object { [version]$_ } -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
$ProxyVersion = "{0}.{1}.{2}.{3}" -f $ProxyVersionRaw.Major, $ProxyVersionRaw.Minor, $ProxyVersionRaw.Build, $ProxyVersionRaw.Revision
