Installing DPM Management Shell

DPM Management Shell, based on Windows PowerShell, is an interactive command-line

technology that supports task-based scripting.

Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2007 provides its own set of Windows

PowerShell commands that can be used in addition to DPM Administrator Console to perform

data protection management tasks. A DPM administrator can use DPM cmdlets to perform many

of the administrative tasks that can be performed in the console.

DPM Management Shell can be installed on computers other than the DPM server, enabling you

to administer multiple DPM servers remotely. You can also install DPM Management Shell on

desktop computers running Windows XP or Windows Vista.

Procedures

To install DPM Management Shell

1. Log on to the computer on which you want to install DPM Management Shell using a

domain user account that is a member of the local administrators group.

2. Insert the Microsoft Data Protection Manager 2007 product DVD in the DVD drive. If the

DPM Setup Wizard does not start automatically, double-click Setup.exe in the root folder

of the DVD.

-Or-

If you are installing DPM from a network share, navigate to the installation share and then

double-click Setup.exe in the root folder of the share.

3. On the Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager 2007 screen, click Install

DPM Management Shell.

Installing the DPM System Recovery Tool

The DPM System Recovery Tool (SRT) is software provided with DPM to facilitate bare metal

recovery for the DPM 2007 server and the computers that DPM protects. DPM SRT can be

installed on a DPM 2007 server or on a separate server.

When you install DPM SRT, you must specify the location for the primary file store, which will

contain the DPM SRT Recovery Points. We recommend that you place the primary file store on a

disk separate from the disk on which the operating system and DPM SRT are installed. If that is

not possible, you can place the primary file store on a separate volume on the same disk.

DPM SRT is not included on the DPM 2007 product DVD. It must be installed separately from the

DPM System Recovery tool CD. For more information about installing DPM SRT, see the topics
