Challenge
Cause
Starting February 1, 2025, Microsoft has retired Azure AD Graph. As a result, any application relying on Azure AD Graph will be unable to make requests to its APIs, including all versions of Veeam Plug-In for Microsoft Azure version 5a and older.
For more information, see this Microsoft announcement.
Solution
A fix will not be released for older impacted versions of Veeam Plug-In for Microsoft Azure, as they reached End-of-Fix when subsequent versions were released.
Customers are advised to upgrade to Veeam Plug-In for Microsoft Azure version 6 (build 6.0.0.234) or newer, as these versions were designed with the Azure AD Graph API deprecation in mind and now leverage the preferred Microsoft Graph.
More Information
Veeam Plug-In for Microsoft Azure v6 was released alongside and is deployed by Veeam Backup & Replication 12.1 (released on 2023-12-05).
Veeam Plug-In for Microsoft Azure v7 was released on 2024-07-02 and is deployed by Veeam Backup & Replication 12.2, which was released 2024-08-28.
