Use the Select Group Members page of the Protection Agent Installation Wizard to select the computers you want to protect.

If you are installing a protection agent on a computer with a firewall enabled, or if you are manually installing a protection agent on the target computer using command line options, see Installing Protection Agents.

If you are installing a protection agent and encounter network or permissions related issues due to domain policies, we recommend that you install the protection agent manually.

For information about installing a protection agent by using a server image on the computer without specifying the DPM server, see "Installing a protection agent using a server image”.

For information about the topics listed above see Managing Protection Agents.

Elements

Name Description

Computer name

In the Computer name box, select one or more computers (50 maximum) from the Computer name list.

If you know the name of a specific computer on which you want to install the protection agent, type the name of the computer in the Computer name box. DPM queries Active Directory Domain Services for the computer and then adds it to the Computer list. If you do not know the name of the computer, browse the list to find the computer.

Important
Servers across domains are not listed in the Computer name box. To find a computer across a trusted domain, you must type the fully qualified domain name of the computer you want to protect (for example, Server1.Domain1.corp.microsoft.com, where Server1 is the name of the target computer that you want to protect, and Domain1.corp.microsoft.com is the domain to which the target computer belongs).

Add

Click to add the selected computers to the Selected computers box.

Remove

This button is enabled only when there is more than one version of a protection agent available for installation on the computers.

After selecting the computers on which you want to install the protection agents, click Next.
