System Center Orchestrator 2019 - DefaultRunspace must be a LocalRunspace (Run Runbooks)

Hi guys,

Years ago, I deployed a System Center Orchestrator 2019 cluster with 2 SQL AlwaysOn nodes and 2 orchestrator servers in a Xen Server virtualization environment. I tested System Center 2025 with the 2019 Web API and encountered some bugs, so I decided not to proceed.

As we are now migrating from the Xen Server hypervisor to KVM, I deployed a new SC Orchestrator 2019 with RU6 using the latest ISO from VLSC: SW_DVD5_Sys_Ctr_DataCenter_Core_201925H1_MultiLang_-2_Orch_MLF_X24-03831, in the same scenario as before, with 2 SQL AlwaysOn and 2 SC Orchestrator servers 2019.

I simply exported all runbooks from the old environment to the new one. However, I am now encountering the following error when executing the same runbooks that work in the legacy environment, I'm using the latest version from IP 2019.

Has anyone encountered this issue before?
