Unhandled exception which may be related to having no backups scheduled?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

• On a test server with EM and VBR co-located, ran into the following error when there were no scheduled backups:

Pertinent code:

- name: Stopping all Veeam Backup Jobs (Only if VBR installed on same server as EM)
  ansible.windows.win_shell: |
    if (-Not (Get-Module -ListAvailable -Name Veeam.Backup.PowerShell)){Add-PSSnapin -PassThru VeeamPSSnapIn -ErrorAction Stop | Out-Null}
    Get-VBRJob | Stop-VBRJob | Out-Null
  # when: software.installed | bool

Pertinent error:

"stderr_lines": [
        "Get-VBRJob : Execution environment cannot be initialized to Remote",
        "At line:2 char:1",
        "+ Get-VBRJob | Stop-VBRJob | Out-Null",
        "+ ~~~~~~~~~~",
        "    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], Exception",
        "    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Exception"
    ],

Describe the solution you'd like I am not 100% sure if the root cause of this is not having backups enabled, but that's my suspicion.

Describe alternatives you've considered Make this step optional by creating a parameter to enable or disable it in the group vars.

Additional context For the time being I added a 'when: false' directive to disable this feature.

Did you stop Veeam services prior running the Ansible playbook? This would cause this command to fail.

That said, thanks for identifying this as this command failing shouldn't halt the upgrade process. I'll update it accordingly.

Thank you! I believe I did stop the services, but I have a test bench I can verify on.
