Managing the DPM Database Volume
The DPM database (DPMDB) location is specified during DPM installation. When you use the
dedicated instance of SQL Server installed by DPM, the default location of DPMDB is C:\Program
Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\DPMDB. When you use an existing instance of SQL Server for DPM,
the default location of DPMDB is the path on the SQL Server where the SQL databases are
located.
To determine which instance of SQL Server is being used by DPM, in DPM Administrator
Console, click the Information icon.
Space in the volume on which DPMDB is stored can be increased by the following methods:
• Deleting unneeded files from that volume (such as temporary files)
• Increasing the size of the volume

Finding DPM Servers in Active Directory Domain Services
Active Directory Domain Services is designed to provide information about directory objects when
queried by either users or programs. When you install DPM on a server that is a member of a
domain, a service connection point is registered in Active Directory Domain Services. The
information registered with the service connection point makes it possible for you to search Active
Directory Domain Services to locate computers running DPM.
Note
If DPM is installed on a server that is not a member of a domain and the server is then
added to a domain, the service connection point will not be registered in Active Directory
Domain Services.
To locate DPM servers in Active Directory Domain Services, use a query tool such as Adsiedit to
find all computers in the domain that have a “serviceClassName=MSDPM” service connection
point.
Note
Adsiedit is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in that is available when you
install the Windows Server 2003 Support Tools. For more information about using
Adsiedit, se

To install Windows Server 2003 support tools
1. Insert the Windows Server 2003 CD.
2. Browse to the \support\tools directory.
