Error: Processing “VM” Error: The RPC service is unavailable RPC function call failed….

Last week I saw the following CopyJob error (problem startet after installing U1 for V9): After some researching and try’s to fix this issue ( https://www.veeam.com/kb2065 did not work) I found a solution that worked for me: Check AV exclusions: https://www.veeam.com/kb1999 I clicked through (next, next, finish) all the wizards for proxy, repository, WAN accelerator (all Veeam components) and restarted the job.
