Veeam Virtualization Extensions Service

Note

VeeamVES64.msi allows you to install the VE Service on a machine that does not run the OpsMgr SDK. However, it will not be able to support the following Veeam MP for VMware features:

Hyper-V monitoring. For details, see the Veeam MP for Microsoft Hyper-V User Guide.
Agent proxy-enabled monitors. For details, see the Veeam MP for VMware Reference and Veeam MP for Hyper-V Reference.

Open the command prompt and run the setup file VeeamVES64.msi using the following parameters:

msiexec.exe [/L*v! "<path_to_log>"] /qn /I "<path_to_msi>" [INSTALLDIR="<path_to_installdir>"] VES_LICENSE_FILE="<path_to_license_file>" VES_SERVICE_USER="<Veeam_Virtualization_Extensions_Service_account>" VES_SERVICE_PASSWORD="<Veeam_Virtualization_Extensions_Service_account_password>" [VES_SERVER_PORT="<Veeam_Virtualization_Extensions_Service_port>"] [VES_UI_PORT="<web_UI_port>"] [VES_SCOM_PORT="<SCOM_Integration_Service_port>"] ACCEPT_EULA=1 ACCEPT_LICENSING_POLICY=1 ACCEPT_THIRDPARTY_LICENSES=1 ACCEPT_REQUIRED_SOFTWARE=1
