Configuring Microsoft System Center DPM and Active Directory (AD) for end user protection allows you to empower your users to independently control their own backup, and it also provides the ability for the end-user to be able to recover their own data as well.
Before you can configure Microsoft System Center DPM and AD for end-user protection, you will need to verify that all of the deployment prerequisites have been met:
- You will need to configure AD to support end user recovery by carrying out the following tasks:
- By extending the AD schema
- Creating an AD container object
- Granting permissions to the DPM server to change the content of the previously mentioned container
- Adding mappings between the source shares and the replica shares
- You will need to enable the
Volume Shadow Copy
service on the protected Windows clients.
