complete the configurations and firewall openings.

Specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the DPM server. For the current

domain or for unique names across domains, specify only the computer name.

Note

You must run SetDpmServer.exe from <drive letter>:\Program Files\Microsoft

Data Protection Manager\bin. If you run the executable from any other location,

the operation will fail.

5. 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 production computer on a different domain, you must

specify the fully qualified domain name of the production computer.

Installing Protection Agents Manually

You can install protection agents manually. To manually install a protection agent, use the

command line options in the following procedure.

You can also install a protection agent independently using Microsoft Systems Management

Server (SMS). To create an SMS package for the DPM protection agent, you must provide the

following to the SMS administrator:

• A share to the DpmAgentInstaller.exe and DpmAgentInstaller_AMD64.exe packages.
• A list of servers on which you are installing the protection agents.
• The name of the DPM server.

To silently install the protection agent, from the command prompt, type DpmAgentInstaller.exe

/q <DPM server name>.

To install a protection agent manually

1. On the computer on which you want to install the protection agent, from the command

prompt, type DpmAgentInstaller.exe <DPM server name>.

You can perform a non-interactive installation by specifying a /q parameter after the

DpmAgentInstaller.exe command. For example, type DpmAgentInstaller.exe /q <DPM

server name>.
