Q-Hybrid fails with NT_STATUS_RPC_BAD_STUB_DATA

If your Q-Hybrid job fails with the error

NT_STATUS_RPC_BAD_STUB_DATA

please check to see if winexesvc is installed and running on the target VM.

If so, please disable the service and uninstall it, as it conflicts with Q-Hybrid's later version of the same executable.

You can check for the presence of winexesvc with the following powershell:

PS C:\Users\domadmin> get-service winexesvc | fl

It will produce this output, or similar, if you are impacted:

DependentServices : {}

ServicesDependedOn : {}

CanPauseAndContinue : False
