Challenge
A new backup proxy can be deployed with one of the two types – domain or workgroup. This article explains how you can change the type of a backup proxy after it has been added to the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 infrastructure.
Cause
After you added a new backup proxy to the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 infrastructure, you cannot change its type using the product UI, PowerShell or RESTful API. This article provides you with a workaround to accomplish this change.
Solution
To change the backup proxy type, do the following:
- Stop all backup jobs and restore sessions running on the backup proxy.
- Remove the backup proxy from the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 infrastructure.
- Change proxy host settings:
- If you want to change the proxy type from workgroup to the domain, add the machine hosting the proxy to the domain.
- If you want to change the proxy type from domain to workgroup, remove the machine hosting the backup proxy from the domain and restart the machine.
- Add the proxy back to the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 infrastructure with the new type.
