Install DPM Agent manually

In the recent class and projects, lots of the students and customers would like to install DPM once they implement a server - this is a good news.

However, how can we do so? There are two things here: Install DPM Agent manually and associate it with DPM Server.

To install DPM Agent manually, there are few ways - install it with SCCM/SMS, distribute via Active Directory group policy or even install it manually.

1) In a DPM source CD, locate Microsoft DPM\DPM\Agents\RA\2.0.5820.0\i386 (use AM64 if install in a 64 bit machine)

2) run DpmAgentInstaller.exe /q .

Now, the agent is installed. To enable firewall exeption,

1) type :\Program Files\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\bin\ SetDpmServer.exe – dpmServerName .

To associate the DPMA with DPM server,

2) On the DPM server, from the DPM Management Shell prompt, type Attach-ProductionServer.ps1 .
