Hi Everyone.
I was fiddling in my lab yesterday evening which is never a good idea on a Friday after a long week. Trying to setoff some security alarms with different systems that I am testing I went a little too far and somehow nuked the agent distributable package for windows.
This morning when getting ready to do some testing with IAM/STS on Ootbi I ran into this error when trying to rescan a manually added machine:

After a short search I realized that the redistributable package for Veeam Agent for windows had been corrupted.
The solution is quite simple. Mount your Veeam VBR installation ISO and run the VAWRedist.msi

After that I tried the rescan again and everything worked as is should:

I can now go back to my originally planned weekend to do list!
