We are unable to access the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager Web UI, receiving a "localhost refused to connect" error. Initial troubleshooting steps included checking firewall rules and verifying if port 9443 was listening, but the service was not running. We identified that the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager service was not present or visible on the server.
VBR ver is 12.3.2
localhost refused to connect.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
C:\Windows\system32>netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="veeam.xy.com 9443" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=9443
Ok.
Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager' service does not appear in the services.msc. I just joined in the team and don’t know if previous engineer has done anything.
EM is local as per logs.

Please advise me how to get the enterprise manager back in action.
