DPM 2007 System Requirements
Before you install System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2007, you need to ensure that
the DPM server and the computers and applications it is going to protect meet network and
security requirements. You must also ensure that they are running on supported operating
systems and that they meet the minimum hardware requirements and software prerequisites.
DPM is designed to run on a dedicated, single-purpose server that cannot be either a domain
controller or an application server. The DPM server must not serve as a management server for
Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2005 or Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
2007; you can, however, monitor the DPM server and the computers that it protects in MOM or
Operations Manager.
