Veeam Server License requirements: Community edition will not be supported.

Needed installed: Veeam Backup Console installed with same version of Veeam server

 

Installation steps from PS admin shell:

PS> Get-Module -Name Veeam.Backup.PowerShell -ListAvailable                                     

PS> Install-Module PScriboCharts

PS> Import-Module PScriboCharts                                                                 

PS> Find-Module -Name AsBuiltReport.* -Repository PSGallery

PS> Install-Module -Name 'AsBuiltReport.Core' -Repository 'PSGallery' -Scope 'CurrentUser'

PS> $env:PSModulePath

PS> $path = (Get-Module -Name AsBuiltReport.Core -ListAvailable).ModuleBase; Unblock-File -Path $path\*.psd1; Unblock-File -Path $path\Src\Public\*.ps1

Verify if PS Veeam module is installed:

PS> Get-Module -Name Veeam.Backup.PowerShell -ListAvailable

PS> Install-Module -Name AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VBR

PS> Get-Module -ListAvailable -Name @(‘Veeam.Backup.PowerShell’,‘AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VBR’,‘AsBuiltReport.Core’)

Can you run the following commands so I can determine which cmdlet is causing the error?

Thank you for helping us with finding the problematic powershell cmdlet.

Until I can find a solution, you can generate a ReportConfig so that the entire inventory section can be disabled.

New-AsBuiltReportConfig -Report Veeam.VBR -FolderPath <User specified folder> -Filename <Optional>

https://github.com/AsBuiltReport/AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VBR?tab=readme-ov-file#pencil2-configuration

After generating the ReportConfig json file open it and set all values in the Inventory section to 0.

 

Then run the report with the -ReportConfigFilePath <Path> option.

New-AsBuiltReport -Report Veeam.VBR -Target veeam-backup -Username '.\xxxxxx' -Password 'xxxxxxxx' -Format Html,Word -OutputFolderPath 'G:\Report' -Timestamp -ReportConfigFilePath <Json Path>

Ironically the Get-VBRProtectionGroup command is not supposed to cause any issue with the report because I am running it inside a try/catch statement but like everything in IT... Murphy's law is always after us.

Have a good day!

Thanks.  So it seems the VBR protection group is the one causing the license message. I am sure @jcolonfzenpr will sort you out.

Your license has not expired, has it?  I would not think so but wonder if it does a check when running the report or something?  I have not studied it in depth but wondered.  Hopefully @jcolonfzenpr can answer.

Yeah, it would be good to validate that the license is not expired.

Thanks, was just a thought and maybe not relevant but I check everything.  😁

Hi Chris,

 

the license will expire in 6 month. ;-)

Hi Christopher,

When this error appears, does the script abruptly terminate without generating the report or is it completely generated and it is just a warning message?

Have a nice day.

Hello Jonathan,

the script will terminate and no report is generated.

Hi,

I’m using a Rental license on a Veeam Server. The license typ is Enterprise plus.

While running the report I got the following message:

“New-AsBuiltReport : Current license does not allow this operation”

Is there a way to get rid of these error?

Regards

Christopher

Which report were you trying to run and what switches?  That is odd as I use the same license type and never have this issue running the utility.

 

Hi Chris,

here you can see the report command:

New-AsBuiltReport -Report Veeam.VBR -Target veeam-backup -Username '.\xxxxxx' -Password 'xxxxxxxx' -Format Html,Word -OutputFolderPath 'G:\Report' -Timestamp

 

It’s good to here that it’s running in your environment.

Christopher

Hi @Chris.Childerhose  Finally I figured it out and fixed it. It seems the offline Module from Github not working fine with me so I installed from PSGallery repo from another device (coz server that I worked on does not have internet access) and I loaded the new one and it works fine.

Thanks for you following up.

 

I'm glad you were able to resolve it and my thanks to those who helped you do so.

I have included the URL for the most recent instructions on how to run the report. In the future I will try to make the process for generating the report simpler.

I fixed the first issue it was a missing module called PScribo and I passed tthat issue but now stuck in another one which is :

The module is exist but am not sure where is the problem exactly now as the diagrammer also there too

 

Any help in here coz my mind will blow :(

I would suggest you go through the website and install all the pre-requisites needed for this to run properly. Sounds like something is still missing based on the errors.

As I told you I copied the example command and changed only the red parts thats why I am sure that it is the same. I spent more than 3 hours to figure it out but with no luck even I restarted the process from the beginning step by step also without luck.  

Sounds good.  Hopefully the OP will reply when he has time.

This is the command that I used and I double check with the article 

 

New-AsBuiltReport -Report Veeam.VBR -Target 172.17.2.180 -Username 172.17.2.180\administrator -Password P@ssw0rd -Format Html,Word -OutputFolderPath ‘C:\VeeamReports’ -ReportConfigFilePath C:\VeeamReports\CustomReportConf.json -Verbose

 

Could you please chek?

Based on this it looks correct from the example above.  Is there a space with the dash and password command?  I know web formatting is funky some times LOL

Example -

New-AsBuiltReport -Report Veeam.VBR -Target 192.168.1.2 -Username 192.168.1.2\administrator -Password P@ssw0rd -Format Html,Word -OutputFolderPath 'C:\VeeamReports' -ReportConfigFilePath C:\VeeamReports\CustomReportConf.json -Verbose

Based on this everything looks right even the single quotes.  Maybe @jcolonfzenpr can address this.
