By installing the DPM Central Console, you enable a new feature of DPM, and this feature is called the DPM Scoped Console. The DPM Scoped Console can be used to help with troubleshooting. With the DPM Scoped Console, if alerts are raised in SCOM, you can click the Troubleshoot
button and you will be directly taken to the DPM Administration Console, which you can then use to troubleshoot your DPM environment.
You must have the Microsoft System Center DPM Central Console installed. The DPM Central Console can be installed on a server operating system running Windows Server 2008 R2 or above, or a Windows client operating system running Windows 7 or above. In the previous recipe, we installed the DPM Central Console on the SCOM Server.
