Errors with Enterprise Manager

Post by Spad »

Due to circumstances beyond our control we've had to rebuild the server hosting Enterprise Manager (4.1.2); we've done a reinstall, reattached it to the old database using the same server names and accounts and all appears well until you login at which point you get one of the following errors:

If you're connected locally, it's: SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:9394

If you're connected remotely, it's: Exception Details: System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: Padding is invalid and cannot be removed.

VeeamBES.log shows:

Hello Adam,

You should remove Veeam backup server credentials from the Enterprise Manager's database. In order to achieve that, please execute the script below against your VeeamBackupReporting database:

Code: Select all

delete [dbo].[Repl.Topology.BackupServerCreds]
On executing this script via SQL Management Studio, please re-enter all credentials in the Enterprise Manager' console and you should be good to go. If you need any assistance with the script, don't hesitate to refer to our technical team.

Thank you!

This also worked for me after I moved Enterprise Manager to a new server and the service wouldn't start. In event viewer it was complaining about credentials each time I tried to start the service. I deleted the table mentioned here and then had to go in and delete/readd all the user/group accounts. I'm not sure if the later part was necessary, but direct support said to do it.
