Powershell VBM version

[matteu]

Hello,

I would like to know how can I know with powershell the exact VBM build I have installed on the server ?

I actually find this method, but maybe there is something better :

Code: Select all

$VBMFilePath = (Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Veeam.Archiver.Service" -Name ImagePath).ImagePath
$VBMFilePath = $VBMFilePath -replace '"',''
(Get-ItemProperty $VBMFilePath).VersionInfo.FileVersion

Hi,

You can also use the (Get-Module Veeam.Archiver.PowerShell).nestedmodules

Hi,

Thanks for your answer
Your method is easier I prefer it ^^

I didn't notice it but it's not what I really want...

I would like to know how can I do to find VBM365 version wich is : 6.0.0.385
These previous command return 11.0.0.385

Is there a way to find the 6.0.0.385 without REST API ?

Currently, it's not available via PowerShell.

In the 11.x.x.xxx versions, the first numbers follow the VBR version, and the last numbers after the dot are the VB365 build number itself. The same approach is used for Veeam Explorers which are shared between VB365 and VBR. Here you can find how VB365 build numbers and versions match: https://www.veeam.com/kb4106

Thanks for your answer.

This will help me Now I know what to do ! I will post my result here

I don't think it's necessary to check for v4 ans less. I only work with v5+

Code: Select all

    $VBRbuild = (Get-Module Veeam.Archiver.PowerShell).nestedmodules.version.tostring()
    switch ($VBRbuild)
    {
        "10.0.2.1061"   {$VBM365Build = "5.0.0.1061"}
        "10.0.2.1063"   {$VBM365Build = "5.0.0.1063"}
        "10.0.2.1070"   {$VBM365Build = "5.0.0.1070"}
        "10.0.3.179"    {$VBM365Build = "5.0.1.179"}
        "10.0.3.207"    {$VBM365Build = "5.0.1.207"}
        "10.0.3.225"    {$VBM365Build = "5.0.1.225"}
        "10.0.3.252"    {$VBM365Build = "5.0.1.252"}
        "10.0.4.22"     {$VBM365Build = "5.0.2.22"}
        "10.0.4.42"     {$VBM365Build = "5.0.2.42"}
        "10.0.5.1033"   {$VBM365Build = "5.0.3.1033"}
        "10.0.5.1035"   {$VBM365Build = "5.0.3.1035"}
        "10.0.5.1051"   {$VBM365Build = "5.0.3.1051"}
        "10.0.5.1060"   {$VBM365Build = "5.0.3.1060"}
        "10.0.5.1063"   {$VBM365Build = "5.0.3.1063"}
        "11.1.0.367"    {$VBM365Build = "6.0.0.367"}
        "11.1.0.379"    {$VBM365Build = "6.0.0.379"}
        "11.1.0.385"    {$VBM365Build = "6.0.0.385"}
        Default         {$VBM365Build = "Unknown Value, script update is necessary"}
    }
 $VBM365Build

I use it on a "summary" function :

Code: Select all

function Get-DCVBMSummary
{
    Write-host "$(get-date -Format HH:mm) - VBM365 Summary"

    $VBM365ServerName = $env:COMPUTERNAME
    $VBM365ServerOS = (Get-WmiObject win32_operatingsystem).caption
    $OSBuild = Get-ItemPropertyValue -path "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" -name 'UBR'
    #No way to find version with powershell but associated version with VBR is available here : https://www.veeam.com/kb4106 
    $VBRbuild = (Get-Module Veeam.Archiver.PowerShell).nestedmodules.version.tostring()
    switch ($VBRbuild)
    {
        "10.0.2.1061"   {$VBM365Build = "5.0.0.1061"}
        "10.0.2.1063"   {$VBM365Build = "5.0.0.1063"}
        "10.0.2.1070"   {$VBM365Build = "5.0.0.1070"}
        "10.0.3.179"    {$VBM365Build = "5.0.1.179"}
        "10.0.3.207"    {$VBM365Build = "5.0.1.207"}
        "10.0.3.225"    {$VBM365Build = "5.0.1.225"}
        "10.0.3.252"    {$VBM365Build = "5.0.1.252"}
        "10.0.4.22"     {$VBM365Build = "5.0.2.22"}
        "10.0.4.42"     {$VBM365Build = "5.0.2.42"}
        "10.0.5.1033"   {$VBM365Build = "5.0.3.1033"}
        "10.0.5.1035"   {$VBM365Build = "5.0.3.1035"}

        "11.1.0.385"    {$VBM365Build = "6.0.0.385"}
        Default         {$VBM365Build = "Unknown Value, script update is necessary"}
    }
