VBR Console installation issues - Entrust signing cert

[unsichtbarre]

It seems that there's a problem with the Entrust signing cert (or the availability on it on some systems)
All of my VBR console installations have failed with a signing error and I have had to do this recently for every Veeam Console installation I have run (standalone):
PS:

Code: Select all

certutil -generateSSTFromWU C:\roots.sst
Get-ChildItem -Path C:\roots.sst | Import-Certificate -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root

Then clear: C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Setup\Temp

Hope to be helpful!

Hello, John,

Thank you for your inputs. This appears to be caused by outdated certificates.
Veeam documents the trusted root certificates required for Veeam Backup & Replication to operate correctly.
Once the required certificates are installed, everything should work as expected.

Yes, but didn't Veeam recently switch to Entrust, causing many of us to have outdated certificates?

Anyway, I hope my fix will help other users!
