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.

For information about performing tasks involving protection agents and protection groups,
