JoeS Posted November 18, 2021 Posted November 18, 2021 I've added a legacy Win 2008R2 server and need to monitor Windows Server Backup until we can migrate it to a new system - but the option is greyed out in Pulseway Manager WSB is added and the command line options - it's running fine and checked the command line options are working Tried a remove/reinstall - but no joy Any ideas on a way to force it "on" or information on what it's checking to try and find why it's leaving this option disabled  Thanks
Administrators Paul Posted November 18, 2021 Administrators Posted November 18, 2021 Hi Joe, You can't. Pulseway uses PowerShell cmdlets to integrate with Windows Server Backup which are not supported on Windows Server 2008R2. -Paul Jamie Taylor 1
Mark G38 Posted November 18, 2021 Posted November 18, 2021 @JoeS In light of what Paul mentioned, you could set up a custom event log alert to monitor the backups through Pulseway in the meantime.  Jamie Taylor 1

Administrators Paul Posted November 24, 2021 Administrators Posted November 24, 2021 My apologies, we do support Windows Server 2008R2 however Windows Server 2008 is not supported. Are you sure that the button is not disabled because of a configuration lock? Also make sure that you can load and use the WindowsServerBackup PowerShell module. If all's ok, you could try to force enable it by running this PowerShell command: Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\' -Name 'MonitorWindowsServerBackup' -Value '1' -Paul
