The password parameter is not required and we recommend that you do not provide it.
DPM will prompt you for a password, which will not appear on the screen. However, you
can provide the password if you want to use the script to install a protection agent on a
large number of servers.
Note
If you are attaching the protected computer on a different domain, you must specify
the fully qualified domain name. For
example, Computer1.Domain1.corp.microsoft.com, where Computer1 is the name
of the protected computer, and Domain1.corp.microsoft.com is the domain to which
you are attaching the computer.
The required configurations to protect the production computer are created. DPM
Administrator Console will now display the production computer.
Starting and Configuring the WSS Writer
Service
Before you can start protecting server farms on servers running Windows SharePoint
Services 3.0 or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, you must start and configure the
Windows SharePoint Services VSS Writer service (WSS Writer service).
After you install the protection agent on the Windows SharePoint Services Web Front End (WFE)
server, you must provide the protection agent with the credentials for the Windows SharePoint
Services farm.
You perform the following procedure for a single WFE server. If your Windows SharePoint
Services farm has multiple WFE servers, you must select only one WFE server when you
configure protection in the Create New Protection Group Wizard.
To start and configure the WSS Writer service
1. On the WFE server, at the command prompt, change the directory to location>\bin\. 2. Type ConfigureSharepoint.exe.
