This short script updates the management setting for a service provider on a customer’s VBR server to install the VSPC management agent.
Simply put part of the URL of the Cloud Connect server (or VCSP domain name) into the filter on line 11. If multiple service providers that contain the string are added, such as separate hosts for backup and replication jobs, the script will automatically choose the server with the most jobs pointed to it.
For easier distribution to customers, the script can be compiled as an executable after modification using a program such as PS2EXE. The script only takes a few seconds to run on the customer’s VBR server, after which the management agent will install, connect to VSPC, and start syncing data behind the scenes.
A try-catch method is included to ensure compatibility with customers still using version 10 or 10a of VBR since it is not yet EOL at the time of posting.
