Protecting a non-domain server with DPM

To protect a server outside the DPM's domain:

• First install the agent manually on the server, copy the installer from C:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\agents\RA
• Add a host entry on both the DPM and the server to be protected to allow name resolution of each other
• On the server to be protected, navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\DPM\bin and run this command
• SetDpmServer.exe -dpmServerName backup -isNonDomainServer -userName svcdpm

• From the DPM console go to the management tab, click the Install action and choose to "Attach agents" to a "Computer in a workgroup or untrusted domain"
• Specify the name of the server and the username you created with the SetDpmServer command

• The server now should appear in the Agents list
