kyleandClaude Opus 5.5 3f407ba76e Add Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 collector
PowerShell script for the VB365 server, run hourly as a SYSTEM scheduled
task (Windows PowerShell 5.1 by default, -PwshPath for PowerShell 7).
One dashboard job per VB365 backup job and backup copy job.

- Sessions from Get-VBOJobSession (and Get-VBOCopyJobSession where
  available) within the lookback window; status from session Status,
  message from the session log's warning/error lines, size from
  Statistics.TransferredData ("1.5 GB" -> bytes)
- One VB365 server can protect several Microsoft 365 organizations, so
  the dashboard company is chosen per job: OrganizationTenants mapping,
  else Tenant, else the organization's name
- Next run from the job's NextRun; empty for disabled jobs
- Get-Vb365CollectorDiagnostics.ps1 dumps jobs and sessions, showing
  each DateTime's Kind (local vs UTC); installer adapted from MARS

Not yet run against a real server.

.SYNOPSIS
Installs the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 collector as a SYSTEM scheduled task.
.DESCRIPTION
- Copies Send-Vb365BackupStatus.ps1 to Program Files (only admins can modify it, which
matters because it runs as SYSTEM).
- Writes the config to ProgramData\BackupDashboard and restricts that folder to SYSTEM and
Administrators, since it contains the API key.
- Registers a scheduled task that runs every IntervalMinutes, under Windows PowerShell 5.1
(powershell.exe) unless -PwshPath points at PowerShell 7.
Safe to re-run to change settings or update the script. Can sit alongside the other collectors.
Dashboard company per job: -OrganizationTenants maps Microsoft 365 organization names to
companies; jobs of unmapped organizations use -Tenant, or the organization's name if no -Tenant.
.EXAMPLE
.\Install-Vb365Collector.ps1 -ApiUrl https://backups.example.com -Tenant "Acme Corp"
One client per VB365 server. Prompts for the API key.
.EXAMPLE
.\Install-Vb365Collector.ps1 -ApiUrl https://backups.example.com -OrganizationTenants @{
'acme.onmicrosoft.com' = 'Acme Corp'; 'bluewater.onmicrosoft.com' = 'Bluewater Dental' }
A shared VB365 server protecting several organizations.
