If you must move a protected shared folder, remove it from its protection group and then add it to
protection after the move.
Changing the Path of an Encrypted Data Source
If you change the path of a DPM protected data source on a volume that uses the Encrypting File
System (EFS) and the new file path exceeds 5120 characters, data protection will fail. You must
ensure that the new file path of the protected data source uses fewer than 5120 characters.

You cannot do the following for protected computers:
• Change the domain of a protected computer and continue protection without disruption.
• Change the domain of a protected computer and associate the existing replicas and recovery
points with the computer when it is re-protected.
We recommend that you do not change the domain of a protected computer. If you must change
the domain of a protected computer, you must complete two tasks:
• Remove the data sources on the computer from protection while the computer retains its
original domain membership.
• Protect the data source on the computer after it becomes a member of another domain.
To change the domain membership of a protected computer
1. Remove all members from protection groups.
If you retain the replicas and recovery points, the data will remain accessible for
administrative recovery until you delete the replicas. However, it will not be accessible for
end-user recovery.
2. Uninstall the protection agent by using DPM Administrator Console on the DPM server.
3. Change the domain membership of the computer.
4. Install a protection agent by using DPM Administrator Console on the DPM server.
5. Add the data sources to protection groups on the DPM server.
