VEEAM v10 - indexing and application-aware processing not more supported on Guest OS Windows 2003

Issue
Last week I have updated a Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure version 9.5U4 to version 10. With the release of new version 10, veeam has dropped support for guest processing of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.
It is therefore possible to have backup jobs that refer to guest Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 with application-aware processing and indexing enabled that must be updated by disabling the application-aware processing and the guest file system indexing (as shown in the picture below);

otherwise the following error messages are obtained:

05/03/2020 02:57:06 :: Error: Unable to perform guest file system indexing: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (Standard) guest OS type is not supported for indexing.

05/03/2020 04:49:37 :: Error: Unable to perform guest file system indexing: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (Standard) guest OS type is not supported for indexing.

05/03/2020 10:51:18 :: Processing server-fnd Error: Unable to perform application-aware processing: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (Standard) guest OS is not supported

and as a result the failure of the backup job.


It's really important before to upgrade to Veeam Backup & Replication v10 read carefully Veeam Backup & Replication 10 Release Notes, any requirement regarding Platform Support and be aware on what is or what is not supported with new version.

That's it.
