Running Antivirus Software on Virtual Server
To prevent data corruption of replicas and recovery points, configure the antivirus software to
delete infected files rather than automatically cleaning or quarantining them. Automatic cleaning
and quarantining can result in data corruption because these processes cause the antivirus
software to modify files, making changes that DPM cannot detect. For instructions on configuring
your antivirus software to delete infected files, see the documentation for your antivirus software.
Performing Virtual Server Management Tasks
This section provides instructions and guidelines for managing a protected virtual server and
making changes after the initial DPM configuration.

Moving Virtual Servers Between Domains
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.
