How to Change the Time Zone of a File Server or Workstation

DPM automatically identifies the time zone of a protected computer during installation of the

protection agent. If a protected computer is moved to a different time zone after protection is

configured, ensure that you do the following:

• Change the computer time in Control Panel by using the Time Zone tab in the Date and

Time Properties dialog box.

• Update the time zone in the DPM database.

For more information about time zones and DPM protection, see

Coordinating Protection Across

Time Zones

.

To update the time zone in the DPM database

1. On the protected computer, in Add or Remove Programs, uninstall Microsoft System

Center Data Protection Manager Protection Agent.

2. On the DPM server, in DPM Administrator Console, in the Management task area, click

the Agents tab, select the computer, and then, in the Actions pane, click Refresh

information.

The agent status will change to Error.

3. In the Details pane, click Remove the record of the computer from this DPM

computer.

4. Reinstall the protection agent on the computer.

5. Run synchronization with consistency check for each protected volume on the protected

computer.

Managing Clustered File Servers

On planned failover of a cluster, DPM continues protection. On unplanned failover, DPM issues

an alert that a consistency check is required.

For a non-shared disk cluster, planned failover may also require a consistency check.
