Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager

Hi,
I have two DPM (2012r2)servers, one is member of the domain, second is workgroup configuration.
I installed Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager, I have no problem connecting to DPM domain member.
Can I connect to the workgroup DPM server with System Center Data Protection Manager?
Thanks,
Lior

Hi
The DPM server itself must be a member of a domain. DPM will not work if the server is in a workgroup configuration.

VssNullProver stopped after installing Update Rollup 3 for System Center Data Protection Manager 2012 R2

I recently installed Update Rollup 3 for System Center Data Protection Manager 2012 R2.
As part of the update I updated all DPM Agents, including the ones on our Hyper-V Servers (which are part of a cluster). I also rebooted every DPM Protected Servers. After reboot all Hyper-V Servers raise a warning that the VssNullProvider service has stopped.
Backup seems to work properly. I can start the VssNullProvider service manually. But after the next backup the service it is stopped again. Exactly the same issue occurs on our test Hyper-V Cluster. All our Hyper-V Servers run Windows Server 2012 R2 and
we use System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2.
Something is not ok with Update Rollup 3. Any suggestions?

Tape Consumption/Utilization on System Center Data Protection Manager 2012

Hi Guys,
I have setup System Center DPM 2012 for Exchange 2010 Backup, the tape library that i am using is Dell TL4000 with 45 Slots and two LTO 5 Drives. The total size of Exchange backup is 33 TB but the no. of tapes used to backup are 16 LTO5 tapes.
The native capacity of LTO5 tape is 1.5 TB and the compressed capacity is 3 TB.
The total no. of tapes used for exchange backup are 16 therefore 16 Tapes x 3 TB = 48 TB where as the total backup size of exchange is 33 TB which means there is a complete wastage of 15 TB tape storage.
Does any one know if its a known issue on DPM? Is there a way where i can tweak the tape utilization? Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Sajeel

Hi,
The LTO5 compression ratio is usually an average of 2:1 depending on the data being written. Some data is not compressible like .jpg .bmp etc. so it's not predictable ahead of time how much data will fill a tape. The fact
that you are achieving greater than native capacity shows that compression is enabled and working.
Besides the data not compressing as much as you like, the only other explanation for not getting more data on a tape is it may not be filling before we either get an EOM from the drive, or we get an IO error that DPM is going to convert to an EOM.
To see if it is the latter check the DPMRA Errlogs for the error code 0x8007045D.
Open an Administrative command prompt.
CD C:\Program file\Microsoft System Center 2012\DPM\DPM\Temp
Find /I "0x8007045D" DPMRA*.Errlog >C:\temp\DPMRA0x8007045D.TXT
Notepad C:\temp\DPMRA0x8007045D.TXT
If you find any, add the registry settings for BufferQueueSize and BusyRetryCount using the following

System Center Data Protection Manager 2010: DPM server cannot inventory

Hi All,
I'm using DPM 2010 running on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise. I have attach Tape libraries to the server.
I saw ibm totalstorage 3573 tape library. then I click inventory but it failed as below:
The detailed inventory of tape failed for the following reason: (ID 3316). DPM could not reserve the drive resource because one of required drive resources is not online or
it needs cleaning or servicing.
Recommended action
1) View and resolve all alerts for the library and its drive(s). Retry the operation after resolving the alerts.
2) Go to the Library tab in the Management pane and click on Rescan. Once the rescan operation has completed successfully, retry the operation.
What should I do? Do you have any solution?
BR,
Khemarin

Hi Khemarin,
In the error it states that one tape drive isn't online. Go to your device manager and verify that all of your tape drives and your media library is ok. Does all the tape drives show up in the DPM console?
If everything looks ok but you still got the problem please try to use DPMDriveMappingTool.exe to remap the tape drives.

Recover Child Data Source - System Center Data Protection Manager 2012 SP1

I'm trying to write a script that, given an input file, recovers data from 1st of the month redirected to a folder.
It's all working, but I need to be able to restore only a folder from a D: drive that is protected for instance.
how can I restore a folder and it's contents from powershell? I can restore and redirect a whole drive for the recovery point I want, but I can't figure out how to restore a childdatasource. I've identified the cds, but how can I make that a recoverableitem
to feed the recover cmdlet?
Mark

Child data source isn't the way to do this, I should have checked each recoverable item in the recovery point, that would like the top level items such as top level folders/vm's/sql dbs, etc.

Interesting SCOM Reports and "Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2 Reports" MP Issue , Some reports appear others don't

Our test environment is quite simple one Operations Server 2012 R2; with the database and SSRS instance on another server; Service Manager 2012 is on it’s own virtual machine; and the Service Manager Data Warehouse on it’s own. I’ve been trying to demo chargeback
with scvmm and I’m having issues with the chargeback reporting.
I’ve followed this process to install chargeback reports:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj614406.aspx which
completed successfully. All of the cubes seem to process correctly in Service Manager and I can create a chargeback analysis excel sheet with no issues in service manager. I still do not get any chargeback reports in the Operations console though. I get some
reports under the “Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2 Reports” heading like Capacity, Host Group Forecasting, Host Utilization, etc but no chargeback report.
I can see the chargeback report in the SSRS website but cannot get it to appear in the Operations console. If anyone has any tips or troubleshooting they can point me at I would appreciate it.

Hi,
Yes you can install the Endpoint Protection Client in the image, the process for doing this is described here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn236350.aspx You can configure it manually to use Windows Update as the source for definition updates before the imaging as well then you should
be good to go.

This is a DPM supportability issue, I believe. Last I heard, no it was not supported. SharePoint 2013 does not support SQL 2014 until the April 2014 CU. The CU should be out soon, although it appears to have been delayed (usually comes out on Patch Tuesday,
which was this past Tuesday).

Microsoft System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection compared to Sophos endpoint protection.

Hi All,
We are currently running Sophos Enterprise Console with Sophos Endpoint protection in our environment. We use most of the Sophos functionality with Device Control, Application Control, Disk Encryption and Tamper Protection. We are looking to move to
Microsoft System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection, but is not sure if the Microsoft product will be able to offer us the same functionality as the Sophos product with the same level of protection.
I have done some research and found that we will have to implement MDOP with System Center to come close to achieve our Sophos functionality. Is this true? Or can everything be centrally managed?
Please advise with suggestions before we get rid of Sophos will be highly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Francois Kaljee

Most third-party security vendors have multiple products that they bundle together. You need to sit down and define your requirements in terms of functionality and features and then map those to Microsoft's offerings. Trying to find equivalent "products"
won't really work.
You also need to look at the cost. It's quite possible that many of the required MS technologies are available to you through your EA. This is the way to sell a strategy like this to your business.
Simply comparing product features won't work. It should be a combination of
1. what do I actually need?
2. what will it cost?

FYI Update Rollup 3 for Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 - Virtual Machine Manager (KB2965413) Stops SCVMM service starting

I just applied update:
Update Rollup 3 for Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 - Virtual Machine Manager (KB2965413)
and (KB2965414) but it failed to install.
After a reboot I could not login to the VMM and the service would not start
An event id 0 was reported with:
Service cannot be started. System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.

After I removed the update the VMM was able to start, no reboot required.
When I have time I will try to apply both updates again successfully and see if the issue still occurs.

FYI. I've had the same issue after I installed Update Rollup 3 (KB2965413), seeing the exact same error on event log. Tried to start the service manually, getting service unable to start error. This is a machine running
with Windows Server 2012 Standard. Solution for me is simple. I just install
KB2965414 (Update Rollup 3 for SCVMM 2012 R2), reboot the server, and the SCVMM service auto start up by itself.
