Could anyone solve this issue

Thanks for including a copy of your playbook.

As shown in the playbook samples, your sql_username needs to be postgres.

This is because version 12 installs a local PostgreSQL instance instead of SQL Express. The default username for PosgreSQL is postgres.

If this does not resolve your issue, feel free to reopen.

Thank you for your help I'm using this code from the repo - https://github.com/VeeamHub/veeam-ansible/tree/master/roles/veeam_vas#veeam-backup--replication-community-edition-install-without-iso-download which is why I get that error I think.

I am seeing this error even though I am specifying postgres. This is copied from the documentation so the credentials should look familiar. Windows 2022 Server and Veeam 12.

@kbreit-insight You're most likely experiencing a different error. Please check the log specified in the error for more details.

Using the default folder it's: C:\install\logs\BackupServer. log

Looking at your playbook, your source_license parameter is most likely to blame. It needs to be a fully qualified path.

For example:

source_license: "/root/ansible/license.lic"
