Adding Azure Compute Account Fails With "This server does not seem to have Azure PowerShell installed"
Challenge
When attempting to add an Azure Compute Account using the "Create a new account" option, the error message is shown stating that "This server does not seem to have Azure PowerShell installed." even though the Azure PowerShell is installed.
Cause
The persistence of this error, even after installing the Azure PowerShell package, appears to be related to the OS blocking the execution of the signed PowerShell Modules within the Azure PowerShell package.
Solution
- Open PowerShell With Admin Privileges
- Execute the following PowerShell command:
- Press A, and hit Enter to allow the script to Always Run.
- Reattempt the "Create a new account" operation within Veeam Backup & Replication
If issues persist, please collect logs for the Veeam Backup Server and include them on a support case.
More Information
The link in the error message installs a specific version of Azure PowerShell that is included with Veeam Backup & Replication and is located here (default location):
C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Backup\Azure-Cmdlets-6.13.2.24245-x64.msi
