You can also run the executable using Microsoft Systems Management Server

(SMS).

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

ProductionServer.ps1 <DPM server name> <production server name> <user name>

<password> <domain>.

The password parameter is not required and we recommend that you do not provide it.

DPM will prompt you for a password, which will not appear on the screen. However, you

can provide the password if you want to use the script to install a protection agent on a

large number of computers.

Note

If you are attaching the protected computer on a different domain, you must

specify the fully qualified domain name. For

example, Computer1.Domain1.corp.microsoft.com, where Computer1 is the

name of the protected computer, and Domain1.corp.microsoft.com is the domain

to which you are attaching the computer.

The required configurations to protect the server are created. DPM Administrator Console will

now display the protected server. To display the correct protection agent status, in

the Monitoring task area, on the Jobs tab, click Refresh Job.
