Windows Server 2003 R2 Server, or Windows Server 2008 operating system (pre-release
version).
DPM 2007 running on Windows Server 2000 domain controllers does not support the
following:
• Protecting computers across domains.
• Protecting a child Windows Server 2000 domain controller in a domain where Windows
Server 2000 is the primary domain controller.
• Protecting computers running Exchange Server 2007.
DPM 2007 running on Windows Server 2003 domain controllers supports protecting
computers across domains within a forest; however, you must establish two-way trust across
the domains. If there is not two-way trust across domains, you must have a separate DPM
server for each domain. DPM 2007 does not support protection across forests.
Active Directory Domain Services, an essential component of the Windows Server 2003
architecture, provides organizations with a directory service designed for distributed
computing environments. Active Directory Domain Services allows organizations to centrally
manage and share information about network resources and users while acting as the central
authority for network security. In addition to providing comprehensive directory services to a
Windows environment, Active Directory Domain Services is designed to be a consolidation
point for isolating, migrating, centrally managing, and reducing the number of directories that
companies require.
• The DPM server requires persistent connectivity with the servers and desktop computers it
protects.
Note
If you are protecting data over a wide area network (WAN), there is a minimum network
bandwidth requirement of 512 kilobits per second (kbps).
