You can use your preferred method for deploying software updates, such as Automatic Updates

or Windows Server Update Services, on computers running Windows SharePoint Services that

are protected by DPM. Because some software updates require a computer restart, you should

schedule or perform the updates at times that have the least impact on protection operations.

Running Antivirus Software on Windows SharePoint Services
Servers

To prevent data corruption of replicas and recovery points, configure the antivirus software to

delete infected files rather than automatically cleaning or quarantining them. Automatic cleaning

and quarantining can result in data corruption because these processes cause the antivirus

software to modify files, making changes that DPM cannot detect. For instructions on configuring

your antivirus software to delete infected files, see the documentation for your antivirus software.

Performing Windows SharePoint Services
Management Tasks

This section provides instructions and guidelines for managing a protected server running

Windows SharePoint Services and making changes after the initial DPM configuration.

Upgrading Windows SharePoint Services

Upgrading Windows SharePoint Services

Windows SharePoint Services data, such as the configuration databases, content databases, and

other databases and files that are part of the Windows SharePoint Services farm for Windows

SharePoint Services 2.0 (WSS 2.0), can be protected by DPM as SQL Server databases.

If you protect WSS 2.0 data as SQL Server databases and then upgrade to WSS 3.0 or Microsoft

Office SharePoint Server 2007, you must reconfigure protection of the data.

To upgrade from Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 to Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007

1. Create a recovery point of the WSS 2.0 data that is protected as a SQL Server database.

2. Stop protection of the data, choosing the Retain replica option.

3. Upgrade the server running Windows SharePoint Services.
