How quickly set up MS SCCM DPM 2012 R2 Agent

First, you have to copy the installation folder from the DPM server “\DPMSERVER\agents\RA\4.2.1273.0” to a local folder, for example “C:\install\DPM.”

Next, run the following command in an elevated cmd.exe window:

DPMAgentInstaller_KB3009516_AMD64.exe DPMSserver /IAcceptEula

Or, if the DPM Agent is already installed, just run the following commands:

cd "\Program Files\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\DPM\bin"
SetDpmServer.exe -add -dpmServerName DPMSserver
net stop dpmra
net start dpmra

To attach the client to the DPM server, run the cmdlet:

Attach-ProductionServer.ps1 DPMSserver ServerToProtect AdminAccount AdminAccountPassword ADNetbiosName

Finally, configure the Protection Group.
