SCDPM can protect computers in workgroups and untrusted domains. You can handle authentication using NTLM or certificates. This recipe describes how to configure DPM protection using NTLM authentication.
For NTLM authentication, DPM supports the following workloads as standalone only and not clustered:
- SQL Server
- File Server
- System State
- Hyper-V
For NTLM authentication to work in workgroups and untrusted domains, first you'll need to install the DPM agent on the computer that you want to protect, then you'll need to configure the agent to recognize the DPM server, and, lastly, you'll need to attach the protected computer to the DPM server.
